Question

What is the width, w , of the picture frame?

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

To find the width, you need to divide the area over the length, so:

5/9 = 2/3w

5/9 divided by 2/3 (remember when dividing by fractions, you flip over the second so this is actually = 5/9 times 2/3)

=5/6

Answer 2

`W = (5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Area = L x W

5/9 = 2/3 * W

5/9 ÷ 2/3 = W

5/6 = W
