For this case we model the problem as a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is given by: A = (w) * (l) Where, w: width l: long Substituting values we have: 4800 = (w) * ((1 1/3) * w) We rewrite: w ^ 2 = 4800 / (1 1/3) w ^ 2 = 3600 w = root (3600) w = 60 in The long will be then: l = (1 1/3) * w l = (1 1/3) * (60) l = 80 in Answer: the dimensions of the quilt are: w = 60 in l = 80 in
6/8 because she painted half of her room in 3/4 of an hour and add half of that and you get 6/8! Hope this helps! Im not very good at math so don't judge me if its wrong...
