Question

The area of a rectangular park is 3/5 square mile. the length of the park is 7/8 mile. what is the width of the park

show your work
remember that Area=Length +Width

Answer 1

A=LW so

W=A/L

W=(3/5)/(7/8)

W=(3/5)*(8/7)

W=24/35 mi

Answer 2

hello:
remember that Area=Length ×Width
3/5 = (7/8) × x
x = (3/5)/(7/8)
x = (3/5)×(8/7)
x =24/25 square mile
