The length of an American flag is 1.8 times its width. What is the

width of the flag?
length=10

Answer 1

5.56 or put
`(5 (5)/(9))`

Explanation:

length = 1.8* width

if the length is 10 , we solve like this :

10 = 1.8* width

10/1.8 = width

width = 5.555....
`(5 (5)/(9))`

to 3 sf

width = 5.56
