Question

A) The students of a school with two banners of equal area were participating

in a rally on 'Children's Day'. The first banner was 8 ft. long and 3 ft.
wide. If the second banner was 6 ft. long, what was its width?

Answer 1

The width of the second banner is 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the second banner, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = Length × Width. Given that the first banner has a length of 8 ft and a width of 3 ft, its area is 8 × 3 = 24 square feet. Since the second banner has the same area as the first, we can set up the equation 6 × width = 24 and solve for the width. Dividing both sides by 6, we find that the width of the second banner is 4 ft.
