Question

Maya's playroom is 12 m2. The length of the room is 3 m. What is the width?

Answer 1

The width is 4 m because 4x3 is 12

Answer 2

This is a math question, but I will give you the answer anyway:

The width of the room is 4m.

Here is how you get to the answer:

The area of the room is given, which is 12m². The m² is a dead give-away.

Now we know that the formula of the area of the room is:

A = L x W

where:

A is the Area

L is the Length

W is the width

Now all you have to do is plug in all the values that you know first into the formula and then solve for what you don't know.

`A =(L)(W)`

`12m^(2) =(3m)(W)`

`(12m^(2))/(3m) =W`

`4m =W`

Hence the answer is 4m.
