Question

the area of a rug is 4 15/32 square meters. the rug is 2 3/4 meters in length. how wide is the rug? (this is not from the question what im about to add) i need to know whether i add subtract divide or multiply

Answer 1

A = LW......looking for the length, so I am gonna rearrange....L = A / W

L = A / W
L = (4 15/32) / (3/4)
L = (143/32) / (3/4)
L = 143/32 * 4/3
L = 572/96 = 5 23/24
