Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Amita's kitchen is rectangular with an area of 3 3 /4 square meters. The width of the kitchen is 1 1/ 2 meters. What is the length, in meters, of Amita's kitchen?

The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width.

To find the length our formula becomes : Area/Width

In the question,

Area = 3 3/4 m²

Width = 1 1/2 m

Length of the rectangular kitchen

= 3 3/4 m² ÷ 1 1/2 m

= 15/4 m² ÷ 3/2 m

= 15/4 m² × 2/3 m

= 5/2 m

= 2 1/2 m

The length of the rectangular kitchen is 2 1/2 meters
