Question

Write and solve an equation to determine the width w of the flag.

Answer 1

Yea they are correct great

Answer 2

Answer:

So what is given is:

length = 1.9 * w, you want to convert this to w = ...

This is done by dividing left and right by 1.9, so you get:

length/1.9 = 1.9*w/1.9, which simplifies to w = length/1.9

Another approach is to replace the multiplication with a simpler one in your head. So in stead of reading "length = 1.9 * width, what is width?", you read "6 = 2*3, what is 3?". You'll immediately realize 3 = 6/2, and that shows you how to change the real equation, ie., width = length/1.9.
