A= #140.625# square feet

Explanation:

the kitchen measures #11'3" " by " 12'6".

But we have been given the lengths in feet and inches, so convert them to decimal format first.

11'3" #= 11 3/12 = 11 1/4 = 11.25 " feet"#

12'6" # = 12 6/12 = 12 1/2 = 12.5 " feet"#

The area is found from #A = l xx b#

#A= 12.5 xx11.25 = 140.625 " squ feet"#
