problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   A construction worker is tiling a backsplash. The backsplash is
$${4{{{1\over2}}}}$$
tiles long and
$${{1\over2}}$$
tile tall. How many tiles are needed in total for the whole backsplash? Give an exact answer that includes the fractions of a tile she will need.
b.   A runway measures
$${10{1\over3}}$$
yards long and
