Question

The area of Mr. Rogers’ field is 3 ⅓ square miles. If the width of the field is ⅔ of a mile, what is the length?

Answer 1

Length of Mr. Roger's field = 5 miles

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of Mr. Roger's field =
`3(1)/(3)=(10)/(3)` square miles

Width of Mr. Roger's field =
`(2)/(3)` of a mile

Let,

l be the length of Mr. Roger's field

Area of field = Length * Width

`(10)/(3)=(2)/(3)l`

Multiplying both sides by 3/2

`(3)/(2)*(10)/(3)=(2)/(3)l*(3)/(2)\\5 = l\\l = 5`

Hence,

Length of Mr. Roger's field = 5 miles
