Question

the area of a rectangle city park is 25/54 sqaure miles. the length of the park is 5/9 mile. what is the width in miles of the park?

Answer 1

A = lw

Plug in what we know:

25/54 = (5/9)w

Divide 5/9 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 9/5:

25/54 * 9/5 = w

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

225/270 = w

Simplify:

w = 5/6
