Question

The area of rectangle field is 12 3/5 m² if the length of the field is 6 2/3 m . Find its breadth

Answer 1

`1(89)/(100)` m

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a rectangle:
`l * b`, where
`l` is the length and
`b` is the breadth.

1) Substitute the values into the formula.

`12(3)/(5) = 6(2)/(3) * b`

2) Change it to an improper fraction and solve for
`b`.

`(63)/(5) = (20)/(3) * b`

`(3)/(20)` *
`(63)/(5)` =
`b`

`(189)/(100) = b`

3) Change it to a mixed fraction because the length is in a mixed fraction. To do it, do a long division.

=
`1(89)/(100)`
