A 54
B 2
C 4:
D 5

Answer 1

2 5/14 yards

Explanation:

Area of the rectangular floor = Length * Width

Given

Area = 8 1/4 square yards

width = 3

1/2 yards

Required

Length

Length = Area/width

Length = (8 1/4)/(3 1/2)

Length = 33/4 ÷ 7/2

Length = 33/4 * 2/7

Length = 33/14

length = 2 5/14 yards

This gives the required length
