Question

The area of a rectangle is 25/42 and its width is 5/6. What is the length? ASAP

Answer 1

`length = (25)/(28)`

Explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be l

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

Area = 25/42

width = 5/6

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the length

That's

`length = (area)/(width)`

So we have

`length = (25)/(42) / (4)/(6) \\ = (25)/(42) * (6)/(4) \\ = (25)/(7) * (1)/(4)`

We have the final answer as

`(25)/(28)`

Hope this helps you
