Question

a rectangular frame has a length of 3 and 1/8 feet and an area of 2 and 3/4 feet.what is the width,w, feet,of the fame? please add work or explain

Answer 1

`Formula = length(l) * width(w) = area(a)`


`3 \ (1)/(8) feet * width(w) = 2 \ (3)/(4) square feet`


`(25)/(8) feet * width(w) = (11)/(4) square \ feet`


`(25)/(8) * width(w) = (11)/(4)`


`width(w) = (11)/(4) / (25)/(8)`


`width(w) = (11)/(4) * (8)/(25)`


`width(w) = (22)/(25) = 0.88 \ feet`

Answer 2

If you would like to find the width of the frame in feet, you can do this using the following steps:

length * width = area
3 1/8 feet * width = 2 3/4 square feet
25/8 feet * width = 11/4 square feet
25/8 * width = 11/4
width = 11/4 / 25/8
width = 11/4 * 8/25
width = 22/25 = 0.88 feet

The correct result would be 22/25 feet.
