Answer 1

a. 3/4 mile

Explanation:

We assume that Lewis's property is 1 3/4 square miles in area, and that it has a length of 2 1/3 miles. We can find the width using the area formula.

A = LW

1 3/4 = (2 1/3)W

7/4 = (7/3)W . . . . . change to improper fractions

(3/7)(7/4) = W = 3/4 . . . . multiply by 3/7

The width of the property is 3/4 mile.
