Question

A rectangular plot of land has an area of 5/3 square kilometers and a length of 5/9 kilometer. What is the width of the plot of the land?

Answer 1

The width is 3 kilometers.

Explanation:

area of rectangle = length * width

A = LW

5/3 = 5/9 * W

5/9 * W = 5/3

W = (5/3)/(5/9)

W = 5/3 * 9/5

W = (5 * 9)/(3 * 5)

W = 9/3

W = 3

The width is 3 kilometers.
