Question

A rectangular garden has an area of 6/7 square miles. If its length is 3/5 miles, what is its width?

Answer 1

The width of the rectangular garden given the area and length is 10/7 miles

Area of a rectangle

• Width of the rectangle = w
• Area = 6/7 square miles
• Length = 3/5 miles

Area of a rectangle = length × width

6/7 = 3/5 × w

6/7 = 3/5w

• divide both sides by 3/5

w = 6/7 ÷ 3/5

= 6/7 × 5/3

= (6 × 5) / (7 × 3)

= 30 / 21

= 10 / 7 miles

Therefore, the width of the rectangular garden given the area and length is 10/7 miles.
