Question

Laverne created a painting with an area of 72 square inches and a length of 9 inches. They create a second painting with an area of 56 square inches. It has the same width as the first painting. What is the length of the second painting?​

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

As our first step, we can divide 72 by 9 to discover the width of the first AND second painting. 72÷9=8

Now that we have discovered the width of the second painting, we will now solve the mathematical expression 56÷8.

Because 56 divided by 8 equals 7, the length of the second painting is 7 inches.
