Question

A rectangular plot of land has an area of 9/10 square mile The length is 3/2 miles what is the width

Answer 1

`(3)/(5)` miles

Explanation:

A rectangular plot of land.

Area of rectangular plot, A =
`(9)/(10)` square mile

The length of plot, L=
`(3)/(2)` miles

Let width of plot be w miles

Formula:

Area of rectangle, A = L × W

`(9)/(10)=(3)/(2)* w`

`w=(2)/(3)* (9)/(10)`

`w=(3)/(5)` miles

Hence, The width of the rectangular plot is
`(3)/(5)` miles
