Answer: Area of the rectangular park = 2/3 square mile

Let us assume the width of the rectangular park = x

Then

The length of the rectangular park = 2 2/3 * x mile

= 8x/3 mile

Then

Area of the rectangular park = Length * Width

2/3 = (8x/3) * x

2/3 = 8x^2/3

(2 * 3)/3 = 8x^2

2 = 8x^2

x^2 = 2/8

x^2 = 1/4

x^2 = (1/2)^2

x = 1/2

So the width of the park is 1/2 feet.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️
