Answer:

The length of the shelf is
(7)/(2)=3(1)/(2) feet.

Explanation:

Given : A shelf width is
1(1)/(8) feet it's length is
3(1)/(9) times the width.

To find : How many feet is the shelf​ ?

Solution :

A shelf width is
1(1)/(8) feet.

A shelf width is
w=(9)/(8) feet.

Length is
3(1)/(9)=(28)/(9) times the width.

According to question,


l=(28)/(9)* w


l=(28)/(9)* (9)/(8)


l=(7)/(2)

Therefore, the length of the shelf is
(7)/(2)=3(1)/(2) feet.
