Question

A sandbox has an area of 26 square feet . The length is 6 1/2 feet. What is the width of the sandbox

Answer 1

If the sandbox is a square then it would be 26/6.5 and that would equal 4 meaning all the sides are the same length

Answer 2

The width of the sandbox is 4 feet

Explanation:

Area = Length x Width

Fill in known values

26 sq ft = 6.5 ft x w

Divide by 6.5 on both sides

4 ft = w

Width = 4 ft
