Question

Mikki created a painting with an area of 32 square feet and a length of 4 feet. They create a second painting with an area of 24 square feet. It has the same width as the first painting. what is the length of the second painting?

Answer 1

3 feet

Explanation:

To begin, find the width of the first painting by dividing 32 by 4. You get 8 feet as the width. Since the second painting has a width of 8, divide 24 by 8 to get the length (area of a rectangle is length times width). You get that the length of the second painting is 3 feet.

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
