Question

A wall has an area of 40 ft. It’s height is 8 feet. Which equation could you use to find its width. Answers 40- w = 8

8w =40
8+w=40
W/8=40

Answer 1

8w=40

You get area by doing length x width. In this case, the “length” is the height. So you would need to figure out what you multiply 8 by to get 40.
