Question

2. A rectangular plot of land has an area of 3/2 sq. kilometers and a length of ¾ kilometers. What is the width of the plot of land?

Answer 1

the width is 2 kilometers

Explanation:

total area: 3/2 (kilometers^2)

length: 3/4 (kilometers)

in a rectangle the area is the length multiplied by the width/height

so:

divide 3/4 from both sides to isolate the width:

`((3)/(2))/((3)/(4)) = ((3)/(4)w)/((3)/(4))`

`2=w` which is the same as:
`w=2`

then just add the units on the end and you're done!
