Answer:

A.
(3)/(10) meters.

Explanation:

Let w represent width of table.

We have been given that a rectangular table has an area of
(4)/(5) square meter. the length of the table
(8)/(3) meters. We are asked to find the width of the table.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length. We can represent our given information in equation as:


w* (8)/(3)=(4)/(5)


w* (8)/(3)*(3)/(8)=(4)/(5)*(3)/(8)


w=(1)/(5)*(3)/(2)


w=(1*3)/(5* 2)


w=(3)/(10)

Therefore, the width of rectangular table is
(3)/(10) meters and option A is the correct choice.

we know that
[area of rectangle]=length*width------> width=area/length

width=area/length-----> (4/5)/(8/3)----> 12/40----> 6/20----> 3/10 m

the answer is
the width is (3/10) m
