Answer:
5/6 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used with the given values to write an equation for the length of the farmland.
__
Here is the equation for the area of a rectangle.
A = LW . . . . . area is the product of length and width
When we fill in the area and width, we have ...
5/9 mi² = L(2/3 mi) . . . . . equation for the length of the farmland
Solving this equation gives ...
L = (5/9)/(2/3) mi . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of L
L = (5/9)/(6/9) mi = 5/6 mi . . . . . perform the division
The length of Sandra's farmland is 5/6 mile.
