Question

Janice’s family grows tomato plants on a rectangular plot of land. The total area of the garden is ⅜ square meters, and the length of the rectangle representing this piece of land is ½ meters. What is the width of the garden?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3/4 meters.

Explanation:

-We know that the area is 3/8 square meters

-And that the length is 1/2 meters

We need to find out what the width is.. But how?

Remember that, length x width is the key to finding the Area.
L x W = A

If we divide the Area by Length, we can find the missing width to this equation.

3/8 divided by 1/2
= 3/4
