Question

if the area of a rectangle is 5 5/8 centimeters square in the width is 1 1/4 centimeters what is the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

5 5/8= 5.625
1 1/4= 1.25

Answer 2

5 5/8= 5.625
1 1/4= 1.25
Arectalgle is Area= (length)(width) so fill in what you know.
5.625= (L)(1.25)
Divide both sides by 1.25
4.5=L
So 4 1/2 cm is the length
