Question

You're filling prescriptions in a pharmacy. Your work surface tray gives you an area of 432 square inches to work. If the length is 24 inches what is the width of the tray?_ Inches

Answer 1

The answer is 18 inches.

432 / 24 = 18

area / length = width

Answer 2

Answer: Width of the tray would be 18 inches.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of tray = 432 sq. inches

Length of tray = 24 inches

As we know the formula for "Area of rectangle":

`Area=Length* Breadth\\\\432=24* width\\\\(432)/(24)=Width\\\\Width=18\ inches`

Hence, width of the tray would be 18 inches.
