Answer: 2 1/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of closet = 8 1/6 feet ²

Width of the closet = 3 1/2 feet

Length of the closet = Unknown

We should note that:

Area = Length × Width

Length = Area / Width

Length = 8 1/6 ÷ 3 1/2

= 49/6 ÷ 7/2

= 49/6 × 2/7

= 7/3

= 2 1/3 feet

The length is 2 1/3 feet
