Question

The area of a rectangular patio is 24 3/8

square meters. The width of the patio is 3 3/4
meters. What is the length? Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

The length of the patio is ___ meters.

Answer 1

6 1/2

Explanation:

Use the area formula: A=LengthxWidth

Plug in what we know: 24 3/8= 3 3/4x Width

We need to isolate the width; get it by itself.

Do this by (24 3/8)/(3 3/4). The best way is to enter this into a calculator.

Your answer is 6 1/2
