whats the length

b. How many times greater is the length than the width? Write your answer in simplest form.

The length is ? times greater than the width.

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle is 7/5 meters (or 1.4 meters) and the length is 7/125 (or 0.056) times greater than the width.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x width = area. In this case, the area is given as 35 square meters and the width is given as 25 meters.

So, we can write the equation as:

Length x 25 = 35

To solve for the length, divide both sides of the equation by 25:

Length = 35 ÷ 25

Simplifying the fraction gives us:

Length = 7/5

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 7/5 (or 1.4) meters.

To find how many times greater the length is than the width, divide the length by the width:

Length / Width = 7/5 / 25 = 7/125

So, the length is 7/125 (or 0.056) times greater than the width.
