The rectangle is 8cm long and 3cm wide. What is 1/6 the area of a rectangle?

Let’s find the value of the area of this rectangle, for this we need to multiply the value of the width of this rectangle by the value of the length of this rectangle:

3 * 8 = 24 cm2 – this is the value of the area of this rectangle;

Let’s find the sixth part of the area value of this rectangle, for this we need to multiply the found value of the area of this rectangle by 1/6:

24 * 1/6 = 4 cm2 – this is one sixth of the area of this rectangle.

Answer: 4 cm2 is one sixth of the area of this rectangle.
