james has a piece of construction paper with an area of 65 1/4 inches is 9 2/3 inches long. What is the width of a piece of construction paper in inches. Can you me what i do with answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.75 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Area of piece of construction paper=$65\frac{1}{4} in^2=\frac{261}{4} in^2$

Length of piece of construction paper=$9\frac{2}{3} in=\frac{29}{3}in$

We have to find the width of a piece of construction paper.

Width of rectangle =$\frac{Area}{length}$

Width of  piece of construction paper=$\frac{\frac{261}{4}}{\frac{29}{3}}$

Width of  piece of construction paper=$\frac{261}{4}\times \frac{3}{29}=\frac{27}{4}=6.75in$

Hence, width of  piece of construction paper=6.75 in

Answer 2

• divide 65 1/4  with 9 2/3 you will get 6 3/4.

• so width is 6 3/4
