Answer:

63.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can re-write the width and the length both as rational numbers:

- Width: [tex]w=6.5=\frac{65}{10}[/tex]

- Length: [tex]L=9.8=\frac{98}{10}[/tex]

So now we can find the area of the garden by multiplying width and length:

[tex]A=wL=\frac{65}{10}\cdot \frac{98}{10}=\frac{65\cdot 98}{10\cdot 10}=\frac{6370}{100}=63.7[/tex]
