Question

Elena paints the back of a aquarium it has a height of 1 3/4 feet the painted area is 5 5/6 what is the length

Answer 1

Answer:

3 1/3 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of aquarium = 1 3/4 feets

Area of aquarium = 5 5/6 ft²

The length of aquarium = x

Aquarium is shaped in the form of a rectangle :

Area of a rectangle = Length * width

5 5/6 = x * 1 3/4

35/6 = 7x/4

Cross multiply :

7x * 6 = 35 * 4

42x = 140

x = 140 / 42

x = 3 14/42

x = 3 1/3 feets

Hence, Length of the back of aquarium is 3 1/3 feets
