Question

A shelf's width is 1 1/8 feet. Its length is 3 1/9 times the width. How many feet long is the shelf?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 1/2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

width of the shelf = 1 1/8 = 9/8

length of the shelf = 3 1/9 of the width = 28/8 of the width

length of the shelf = 28/9 x 9/8 = 28/8 = 7/2 = 3 1/2ft
