Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 7.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The width of the rectangle,
$L=6(1)/(5)\ cm=(31)/(5)\ cm$

The area of the rectangle,
$A=46(1)/(2)\ cm^2=(93)/(2)\ cm^2$

We need to find the length of the rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = LB

Put all the values,

$L=(A)/(B)\\\\L=((93)/(2))/((31)/(5))\\\\L=7.5\ cm$

So, the length of the rectangle is 7.5 cm.
