Question

A rectangular patio has a length of 12 1/2 feet and an area of 103 1/8 square feet. What is the width of the patio ?

Answer 1

L X W = AREA
All you have to do is divide 108 1/8 by 12 1/2
Change into improper Fraction
865/8 divided by 25/2
Think about KEEP, SAME, FLIP
865/8 X 2/25 = 1730/200
THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU 8.65.
The answer is then 8.85

Hope this helps:)
