Question

The length of a runway is 1/2 of a mile. The area of it is 3/4 miles squared. What is the width?

Answer 1

3/2 of a mile

Explanation:

The equation is 1/2 times something = 3/4 (because length times width is area)

you would divide 1/2 on both sides to get an unknown number(that represents the width)

3/4 divided by 1/2 is 3/2 of a mile !
