Question

a rectangular parking lot has an area of 2/3 of a square kilometer. the width is 1/2 of a kilometer. what is the length, in kilometers, of the parking lot?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = l x w.
We can plug in what we know to the formula: 2/3 = l x 1/2.
Simplify: 2/3 = 1/2 l
Divide both sides by 2: 2/3 / 2/1 = l | length = 1/3

Hope this helps!! :)
