Question

The area of a garden is 8 3/4 square yards. If the lenght is 1 1/4 yards , what is the length?​

Answer 1

The Missing Length = 7

Explanation:

Equation: side length x side length = area

• This means that if you divide the area by one of the side lengths, you'll find the other

1. Convert the numbers into decimals

• 8 3/4 - 8.75 (area)
• 1 1/4 = 1.25 (side length)

2. Divide the area by the side length

• 8.75 ÷ 1.25 = 7

7 is the answer.
