Explanation:

$3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3\times3 + 2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$

Step2: Use area formula for rectangle

The area formula of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l=\frac{11}{3}$ and $w = \frac{7}{8}$. So $A=\frac{11}{3}\times\frac{7}{8}=\frac{11\times7}{3\times8}=\frac{77}{24}$

Answer:

$\frac{77}{24}$
