Question

james has a piece of construction paper with an area of 65 1/4 inches is 9 2/3 inches long. What is the width of a piece of construction paper in inches. Can you me what i do with answer?

Answer 1

• divide 65 1/4 with 9 2/3 you will get 6 3/4.

• so width is 6 3/4

Answer 2

6.75 in

Explanation:

We are given that

Area of piece of construction paper=
`65(1)/(4) in^2=(261)/(4) in^2`

Length of piece of construction paper=
`9(2)/(3) in=(29)/(3)in`

We have to find the width of a piece of construction paper.

Width of rectangle =
`(Area)/(length)`

Width of piece of construction paper=
`((261)/(4))/((29)/(3))`

Width of piece of construction paper=
`(261)/(4)* (3)/(29)=(27)/(4)=6.75in`

Hence, width of piece of construction paper=6.75 in
