Answer:

start by using the formula for the area of a rectangle:


Area = length × width


We know that the area of the farm is given as square miles, so we can write:

lw =


Solving for w, we can divide both sides by l:

w =


Therefore, the width of the rectangular farm is miles.


To simplify the expression, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:

w =


So the width can also be expressed as the fraction __.
