Question

A rectangular garden has an area of 6/7 square miles. If its length is 3/5 miles, what is its width?Input your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

The area of the garden is A = 6/7.

The length of the garden is l = 3/5.

The formula for the area of the rectangle is,

`A=l* w`

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the width of the garden.

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(7)=(3)/(5)* w \\ w=(6)/(7)*(5)/(3) \\ =(30)/(21) \\ =(10)/(7) \end{gathered}`

So answer is 10/7.
