Question

The area of a rectangular piece of land is 2/3 square mile.

One dimension is 1 1⁄2 miles.

Answer 1

4/9 miles

Explanation:

`\sf Area = (2)/(3) \ square \ miles\\`

`\sf length = 1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2) \ miles`

`\sf Width \ of \ rectangle = (Area)/(length)`

`\sf = (2)/(3) / \ (3)/(2)\\\\ =(2)/(3)*(2)/(3)\\\\ =(4)/(9) \ miles\\`
