Question

A shelf width is 1 1/8 feet it's length is 3 1/9 times the width how many feet is the shelf​

Answer 1

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.
