Answer:length of the strip =3 1/3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that

Area of the rectangular strip= 2/3 square meter

width = 1/5 meter

length = ?

W e know that the formulae for area of a rectangle = Length x width

using this equation, we will solve for length

Step 2

area of the rectangular strip= Length x width

Length = Area / Width

2/3 square meter / 1/5 meter

Length= 2/3 x 5/1 = 10/3= 3 1/3 meter
