Question

The width of a rectangular parking lot at the meadowlands is 3/8 mile. If the area is 5/8 square mile, what is the length of the parking lot

Answer 1

let width is x and length is y

x * y = area

=> 3/8 * y = 5/8

=> y = 5/8 ÷ 3/8

=> y = 5/8 * 8/3 = 5/3

the length of the rectangular parking lot is 5/8 mile.
