Question

a rectangular parking lot has an area of 7/10 square kilometer the width is 1/3 kilometer what is the length of the parking lot written as an improper fraction in kilometers

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{10}$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

• The are of a rectangle as 7/10 km²
• Width of the rectangle is 1/3 km

We are required to find the length of the rectangle;

We need to know how to find the area of a rectangle first;

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Rearranging the formula;

Length = Area of rectangle ÷ Width

            = 7/10 km² ÷ 1/3 km

   We get;

           $=\frac{7}{10} *\frac{3}{1}$

           $=\frac{21}{10}$

           $=2\frac{1}{10} km$ (improper fraction)

Thus, the length of the rectangular park is $2\frac{1}{10}$ km
