solution

This area model shows a large rectangle made of two smaller rectangles.

0.3

2.1

First, find the multiplication equation the model represents. The product of the large rectangle's side lengths is equal to the area.

One side length is 7. The other side length is

0.3

5.3

So, the factors are 7 and 5.3.

The area of the large rectangle is the product. Add the areas of the smaller rectangles to find this number.
