Answer:

The width w of the rectangular park = 1/2

Explanation:

Given

The length of the rectangular park l = 2/3 miles

The area of the park A = 3/9 square miles

To determine

The width of the rectangular park w = ?

Using the formula of the Area of the rectangle


A\:=\:wl


w\:=\:(A)/(l)


=((3)/(9))/((2)/(3))


=(3\cdot \:3)/(9\cdot \:2) ∵ Fraction rule:
((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot \:d)/(b\cdot \:c)


=(9)/(18)


=(1)/(2)

Therefore, the width w of the rectangular park = 1/2
