To start, first keep in mind that the formula for area is A=L*W where L is the length and W is the width.
Now that we know our area formula, we can plug in our known values which include the length, 5 1/3, and the area, 24. This would look like this: 24=5 1/3*W
Now that you have this, convert 5 1/3 to an improper fraction to make it easier to divide: 5 1/3=16/3
Now, divide 16/3 from both sides: 24÷16/3=x
Now simplify: Since you are dividing a fraction, the easiest thing to do would be to convert the expression 24÷16/3 to a multiplication expression. To do this, find the reciprocal of the divisor and change the division sign to a multiplication sign: 24*3/16
Now, multiply straight across and you get 72/16. Now simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 8 (the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator) to get 9/2.
Finally, convert 9/2 to a mixed fraction to get 4 1/2.
Therefore, your final answer would be the width of the shelter is 4 1/2 meters.
