Question

joseph got a new tablet for his birthday. he needs to buy a case for it. he knows that the area of the tablet is 48 inches and that the width is 6 inches. how long the tablet?

Answer 1

8 inches long

Explanation:

The formula for Area is A= L×W (Area= Length × Width).

So do the opposite to finding the Length. The opposite of multiplication is division, so you divide the Area to the Width you are given.

L = 48 ÷ 6

8 = 48 ÷ 6

To make sure the answer is correct, you now go back to multiplying and now plug in the answer which is 8 to see if you get 48, the Area of the tablet.

A = L×W

48 = 6×8

The tablet is 8 inches long.
