93.5 square inches. The 1000 doesn't matter. Just multiply 8.5 and 11

we know that
Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8 2 1 ​ inches by 11 inches
The area of each piece that jodi is cutting out is equal to the area of a rectangle
so
To calculate the area
Multiply 8 2 1 ​ by 11
8 2 1 ​ = 8.5
8.5 ∗ 11 = 93.5 inches²
therefore
the answer is
93.5 in c h e s 2
