Question

A rectangle plates has area of 30 1/16 square inches. If the width of the plates is 4 5/8 inches, what is it length in inches?

Answer 1

`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}`
