Question

The area of the rectangle is 5/6 square foot. The width is 2/3 foot. A. What is the length of the rectangle? Write ur answer as a fraction in simplest form B. How many times greater is the length than the width? Write ur answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Rectangle:

A = l x w

l = A / w

Plug in

l = (5/6) / (2/3)

l = 5/6 x 3/2

l = 5/4

How many times greater is the length than the width?

l / w = (5/4) / (2/3)

= 5/4 x 3/2

= 15/8

Length is 15/8 times greater than width
