Answer:

1 3/4 m

Explanation:

You want the length of a rectangle 4/5 m wide that has an area of 1 2/5 m².

Length

The formula for the area of a rectangle is ...

A = LW . . . . . . L = length; W = width

Filling in the given values and solving for L, we have ...

1 2/5 m² = L(4/5 m)

L = (7/5 m²)/(4/5 m) = 7/4 m = 1 3/4 m

The length of the rectangle is 1 3/4 meters.
