Question

A playground is rectangular and the length is 7/8 miles. if the area is 8/20 what is the width?

Answer 1

so the width is 16/35 miles

Explanation:

Length - 7/8 miles

Area - 8/20 miles

we know from the equation that area = Length x width

we need to rearrange so the width = Area ÷Length

width = 8/20 ÷ 7/8

= 8/20 × 8/7

= 16/35
