Question

a park is rectangular with a length of 2/3 miles in the area of the park is 3/9 square miles what is it what is the width ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The width w of the rectangular park = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of the rectangular park l = 2/3 miles

The area of the park A = 3/9 square miles

To determine

The width of the rectangular park w = ?

Using the formula of the Area of the rectangle

$A\:=\:wl$

$w\:=\:\frac{A}{l}$

    $=\frac{\frac{3}{9}}{\frac{2}{3}}$

    $=\frac{3\cdot \:3}{9\cdot \:2}$          ∵ Fraction rule:  $\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot \:d}{b\cdot \:c}$

    $=\frac{9}{18}$

    $=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the width w of the rectangular park = 1/2
