Question

The length of a rectangle is 4/5 feet the width is 5/8 feet how much greater is the length of the rectangle than the width

Answer 1

We know the length and width, so the width subtracted from the length will tell us how much bigger the length is.

`(4)/(5) - (5)/(8)`

`= (32)/(40) - (25)/(40)`

`= (7)/(40)`
So the length is
`(7)/(40)` feet longer than the width
