Question

The area of the rectangular garden is 20/3 square feet. If the length of the garden is 8/3 feet, find the width of the garden.

Answer 1

The Width of the Garden is
`(5)/(2)` feet.

The equation for the total area of a rectangular garden = l × b

The total area of the Garden =
`(20)/(3)` sq. feet

Length of the Garden =
`(8)/(3)` feet

Width of the Garden = Area ÷ Length

=
`(20)/(3)` ÷
`(8)/(3)`

⇒ division of
`(8)/(3)` is equal to multiplication of
`(3)/(8)`,

⇒
`(20)/(3)` ×
`(3)/(8)`

⇒ canceling both three on both sides to give

⇒
`(20)/(8)`

=
`(5)/(2)` feet

∴ The Width of the Garden =
`(5)/(2)` feet
