Answer:

$l=6(1)/(2) \ \text{inches}$

Explanation:

Given that,

The width of the rectangular plate =
$4(5)/(8)=(37)/(8)\ \text{inches}$

The area of a rectangular plate =
$30(1)/(16)=30.0625\ in^2$

We know that, the area of a rectangular is given by :

A = lb, l is the length

$l=(A)/(b)\\\\l=(30.0625)/((37)/(8))\\\\l=6.5\ \text{inches}$

or

$l=(13)/(2)\ \text{inches}\\\\=6(1)/(2) \ \text{inches}$

So, the length of the rectangular plate is
$6(1)/(2) \ \text{inches}$
