Question

A rectangular piece of paper has an area of ⅓ square meter. If the length of the paper is ⅗ meter, what is the breadth of the paper?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(5)/(9)\ m`

Explanation:

Given

Area of the rectangular piece of paper is
`A=(1)/(3)\ m^2`

Length of the paper is
`l=(3)/(5)\ m`

Suppose width of the paper is
`w`

Area is the multiplication of length and width

`\therefore A=lw\\\\\Rightarrow (1)/(3)=(3)/(5)* w\\\\\Rightarrow w=(5)/(9)\ m`

Thus, the width of the paper is
`(5)/(9)\ m`
