Question

An unopened cereal box contains `15/28` cubic foot of cereal. If the box is full, and the length and height of the box are `5/7` and `1(1)/(2)` feet, respectively, what is the width of the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

15/28=(5/7)(1 1/2)(w)

15/28=(5/7)(3/2)w

15/28=(15/14)w

(15/28)/(15/14)=w

(15/28)*(14/15)=w

w=14/28

w=1/2 ft
