Question

The length of atrain car is 50.6 feet. This is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width. What is the width?

Answer 1

∗ l = 50.6 ft
∗ w = ?

∗ The length is 50.6 feet. The question is saying that 50.6 is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width.

∗ 6w - 5.8 = 50.6

∗ 6w = 56.4

∗ w = 9.4

Now lets check.

∗ If the length is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width, and we found 9.4 as the answer, then;
6 times 9.4 - 5.8 should equal 50.6

∗ 6 • 9.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 56.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 50.6 = l


⋆The width is 9.4 feet⋆
