Answer :
[tex]A=\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \cdot \frac { 4 }{ 5 } \\ \\ =\frac { 28 }{ 40 } \\ \\ =\frac { 4\cdot 7 }{ 4\cdot 10 } \\ \\ =\frac { 7 }{ 10 } [/tex]
The area is 7/10 yards squared.
Divide this are between two:
[tex]\frac { 7 }{ 10 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \\ \\ =\frac { 7 }{ 20 } [/tex]
Jody and her friend would each have 7/20 yards squared of the area.

Answer:
The area of the fabric is 7/10 square yards.
Each person will get 7/20 square yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the rectangular piece of fabric is 7/8 yards
and the width of the rectangular piece of fabric is 4/5 yards
Area of a rectangle is given by
Area = length × width
On substituting the known values, we get
[tex]A=\frac{7}{8}\times\frac{4}{5}\\\\A=\frac{7}{10}\text{square yards}[/tex]
Thus, the area of the fabric is 7/10 square yards.
Now it has been given that Jody shares the piece with his friend. It means that the area should be divided in two equal parts.
Hence, each person will get
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{7}{10}=\frac{7}{20}[/tex]
Each person will get 7/20 square yards.
