Question

The length of a rectangular plot of land is 1 17/25

times its width. If the width of the plot is 4 1/6
yards, what is the length?
A.6 3/25 yards
B.7 yards
C.6 yards
D.5 1/3 yards​

Answer 1

B. 7 yards

Explanation:

4 (1)/(6)*1 (17)/(25)= 7

Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

From the given information, we get

Width of the plot =
`4(1)/(6)=(4* 1+1)/(6)=(25)/(6)` yards.

Length of a rectangular plot is
`1(17)/(25)` times of its width.

`1(17)/(25)=(25* 1+17)/(25)=(42)/(25)`

It means

`Length=(42)/(25)* width`

`Length=(42)/(25)* (25)/(6)`

`Length=7`

The length of the plot is 7 yards. Therefore, the correct option is B.
