Question

A playground is rectangular with a length of 24 miles. If the area of the playground is 812 square miles, what is its width? Answer with a fraction in simplest form. it is 4/3

Answer 1

33(5/6) sq miles

Explanation:

Area = LxW

812 = 24xW

Divide by 24

W = 33.8333333 ( 33 (5/6)

8 is non repeating

3 is repeating

For nominator subtract the non repeating (83-8 = 75)

For denominator : one 9 for each non repeating,one zero for each repeating (only 3 is repeating,then one zero)

75/90 = 5/6
