Question

A rectangular table has an area of 4/5 square meter. the length of the table 8/3 meters What is the width,in meters of the table

A:3/10 meters
B:1/3 meters
C:1/2 meters
D:2/3 meters

Answer 1

A.
`(3)/(10)` meters.

Explanation:

Let w represent width of table.

We have been given that a rectangular table has an area of
`(4)/(5)` square meter. the length of the table
`(8)/(3)` meters. We are asked to find the width of the table.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length. We can represent our given information in equation as:

`w* (8)/(3)=(4)/(5)`

`w* (8)/(3)*(3)/(8)=(4)/(5)*(3)/(8)`

`w=(1)/(5)*(3)/(2)`

`w=(1*3)/(5* 2)`

`w=(3)/(10)`

Therefore, the width of rectangular table is
`(3)/(10)` meters and option A is the correct choice.

Answer 2

we know that
[area of rectangle]=length*width------> width=area/length

width=area/length-----> (4/5)/(8/3)----> 12/40----> 6/20----> 3/10 m

the answer is
the width is (3/10) m
