Answer 1

Problem:

A square park has an area of 1/16 square miles and a length of 1/4 mile. What is the width of the park?

The formula for width is:

`\quad \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt{width = (area)/(length)}}`

Lets try!

`\quad \quad \quad{\tt{w = (1)/(16) / (1)/(4) = \boxed{\tt{0.25}}}}`

Lets convert it to fraction:

`\quad \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt{w = 0.25}} \: ➡ \boxed{ \tt{w = (1)/(4)}}`

So the value of width is:

`\boxed{ \tt{w = (1)/(4)}}`
