Question

The area of the rectangular floor in Tamara's room is 95 5/6 square

feet. The width of the room is 8 feet. What is the length of Tamara's
room?

Answer 1

Answer is 11 1/2 feet

Answer 2

Answer: 11 1/2 ft

Explanation:

We know that the equation for the area of a rectangle is:

length x width = area

All we have to do is fill it in with the numbers and solve:

length x 8 1/3 = 95 5/6

length = 95 5/6 ÷ 8 1/3

length = 23/2 = 11 1/2

Thus, the length of Tamara's room is 11 1/2 feet.
