Question

You work in a store that sells rugs. One rug has a tag that states that it covers 104 square feet and is 13 feet long. how wide is the rug

Answer 1

W = 8 feet

Explanation:

The rug is rectangular in shape.

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

Given

Area = 104 square feet

length = 13

Therefore

104 = 13 x w

Divide both sides by 13

104/13 = 13/13 x w

8 = w

W = 8 feet

The rug is 8 feet wide
