Question

Shelly spreads out a rectangular picnic blanket with the area of 42 square feet. It's length is 6 feet. If W represents the width, which equation could be used to find the width of the rectangular blanket ?

Answer 1

6w = 42

Step-by-step explanation

The area of a rectangle with length L and width W is:

`A=L\cdot W`

In this problem we know that the area is 42 ft² and the length is 6 ft, so the equation is:

`42=6w`
