8/3=3x (cross multiplied to get this)
X=8/9 (divided both sides by 3)
Hope this helps :)
In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:
Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.
2/3 of 8 miles is 5 and 1/3 miles. So they walked about 5 and 1/3 miles there.
