Question

the area of the rectangle is 9 1/3 square yards the length is 3 and 1/2 yards what is the width in yards

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{8}{3} yards$  i.e.   $2\frac{2}{3} yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the area of the rectangle is:

$9\frac{1}{3} =\frac{28}{3}$  square yards

Length of rectangle is  $3\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}$ yards

Now we are supposed to calculate the width of the rectangle .

First consider the formula of the area of rectangle i.e.

Area = Length*Width

Now put the given values

⇒$\frac{28}{3}=\frac{7}{2} * Width$

⇒$\frac{28}{3}*\frac{2}{7}= Width$

⇒$\frac{8}{3} = Width$

Thus The width of the rectangle is  

$\frac{8}{3} yards$   i.e.   $2\frac{2}{3} yards$
