Question

There is a part c
Part c
What is the length and width of each section?

Answer 1

Part A: Width is 1/4 yard

Part C: Each section: L = 1/9 yard, W = 1/8 yard

Explanation:

Part A:

The area is given as 1/12 yard² and the length is given as 1/3 yard. The area of a rectangle is A = LW, plug in the given values and solve...

1/12 = (1/3)W

3/12 = W (multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction on the right)

1/4 yard = W (reduce the fraction on the left)

Part C: The width is 1/4, and there are 2 squares along the width, so each section is

1/4 ÷ 2 = (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 yards wide

The length is 1/3 and there are 3 sections along the length, so each section is

1/3 ÷ 3 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9 yards long
