Question

A farmer has a rectangular field with an area of 3/4 square mile. The field is 1/2 mile wide. What is the length of the field?

Answer 1

1 1/2

Explanation:

Since in this problem they only gave the area and width, we have to make an equation. So 1/2 * x = 3/4, x represents the length which is unknown and 1/2 represents the width. Now we solve the equation. the 3/4 divided by 1/2 equals 3/4 * 2 = 6/4 or 1 1/2

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The field is 5/2 miles long

Explanation:

3/4 divided by 1/2 is 1.5 or 5/2 therefore the field is 5/2 miles long.
