Answer:

width = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that the formula to get an area of a square/rectangle is A=lw, where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width.

we already have the area and the length, so all we need now is the width.

to find the width, simply plug in the area and the length into the formula, which will give you:

A = lw -given formula

12 = 5(w) -plug in known variables

12/5 = 5w/5 -divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself

2.4 = w -turn the fraction into decimal if you prefer it that way

possible answers: w = 2.4, w = 12/5, or w = 2 2/5

To Find :

If 18 newspaper carriers are all delivering the same number of papers, how many will each deliver.

Solution :

Let, total number of deliver are n.

Total newspaper, T = 4050 .

Number of news carriers, N = 18 .

So,

$n = \dfrac{T}{N}\\\\n = \dfrac{4050}{18}\\\\n = 225$

Therefore, each deliver will carry 225 newspapers.

Hence, this is the required solution.
