Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 20 meters

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Area of the rectangle = 4 square meters

Width of the rectangle = 1/5 meter = 0.2

2. What is the length?

Let's use the formula of the area of a rectangle, to answer this question:

Area = Width * Length

Replacing with the values we have:

4 = 0.2 * Length

4 = 0.2 Length

Length = 4/0.2

Length = 20 meters
