Question is not proper, Proper question is given below;

Consuelo's living room is in the shape of a rectangle and has an area of 360 square feet. The width of the living room is
(5)/(8)\ ft its length. What is the length of the living room?

Answer:

Length of the living room is 24 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Area of the living room =
360 \ ft^2

We need to find the length of the living room.

Solution:

the length of the living room be 'l'.

Given:

Width of the living room
(5)/(8)\ ft of it length.

width
w= (5)/(8)l

It has been given that living room is in rectangular format.

So we can say that;

Area of living room is equal to length of the living room times width of the living room.

framing in equation form we get;


l* w=360\\\\l*(5)/(8)l=360\\\\(5)/(8)l^2=360

Now Multiplying both side by
(8)/(5) we get;


(5)/(8)l^2*(8)/(5)=360*(8)/(5)\\\\l^2= 576

Taking square root on both side we get;


√(l^2) =√(576) \\\\l=24 \ ft

Hence Length of the living room is 24 feet.
