C. 8 23/24. One way you can solve this is by dividing 14 1/3 by 8, because it is the denominator of 5/8, then multiplying the quotient by 5, because it is the numerator of 5/8. (14 1/3 / 8) x 5 = 8 23/24
Hello!
We know that the formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
We've been given enough information to solve this question!
The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 metres, and the its length is 14 meters long.
We must multiply the length by 2 and then subtract it from the perimeter to find the width.
W = P - 2l
W = 60 - 2(14)
W = 32
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 32 metres long.
