The problem asks to find the area of the rectangle, where the dimensions are given in fractions of feet. The dimensions are:

- Length: \( \frac{5}{3} \) feet
- Width: \( \frac{1}{4} \) feet

The formula for the area \( A \) of a rectangle is:

\[
A = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
A = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{1}{4}
\]

To multiply these fractions:

\[
A = \frac{5 \times 1}{3 \times 4} = \frac{5}{12} \text{ square feet}
\]

So, the area of the rectangle is \( \frac{5}{12} \) square feet.
