Question

Which of the options below shows an expression that will correctly solve the following question?

The local farm is rectangular with a length of 27
km. If the area of the farm is 212
square km, what is its width?

A) 212×27

B) 27÷212

C) 212÷27

D) 27×212

Answer 1

Solution,

length(l)=27km

Area(A)=212km²

Now As we have,

Area=lxb

212km²=27kmxb

b=212km²/27km

b=7.85km

Explanation:

Since we have to divide the area by length to get the width. So, option C is correct.
