1. 700,000/9 = 77,777.7 sq ft
2 . Easy in your head work 1/3 of 15 is 5. 1/3 of 45 is 15. answer is 515 square miles.
3. Also easy. Break it down to real numbers.
.5 x .667 x .8 x .99 = .264132
(I think this is what you were posting.)
BTW, I am a Blond.

1. 77,777
2. 515
3. multiply the numerators and the denominators to get the end fraction. So, 1/2 times 2/3 = 2/6
2/6 x 4/5 = 8/30
8/30 x 99/100 = 792/3000

1) 700,000/9 = 77777.77(2dp) square feet
2) 1545/3 = 515, square miles, but if its an island, then it may have less water in it that the average for the state, so that may be wrong
3) cant be arsed writing them all out but the answer is about .001
errrm, you may want to check that last one, could be wrong. sorry
