7/12 of the members of a badminton club are women. 3/8 of the members of the badminton club wear glasses. What is the smallest possible number of members of the badminton club.

Area of whole rectangle = 2.5m²

Area of each piece cut = 1.25m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width .

The length is 2m and the width is 1 1/4 m, or 1.25m.

Substitute length and width into the formula to get total area of rectangle.

A = L x W

A = 2m x 1.25m

A = 2.5m²

To find the area for each of the two pieces Jordan cut, divide the total area by 2 because there are two pieces.
