Answer 1

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.
