Question

The area of a rectangle is 0.8 square units. The length is 3.2 units and the width is x units.

What is the value of x?

x=0.25

x=2.4

x=2.56

x=4

Answer 1

Area= l*b
0.8=3.2*x
0.8/3.2=x
x=0.25 units

Answer 2

Option 1 - x=0.25

Explanation:

Given : The area of a rectangle is 0.8 square units. The length is 3.2 units and the width is x units.

To find : What is the value of x?

Solution :

The area of the rectangle is given by,

`A=L* W`

The length of the rectangle is L=3.2 units

The width of the rectangle is W=x units

The area of the rectangle is A=0.8 square units

Substitute the value in the formula,

`0.8=3.2* x`

`x=(0.8)/(3.2)`

`x=0.25`

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

The value of x is 0.25.
