Answer:

The answer is


(5)/(4) \\

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Since we are finding the length


length = (area)/(width) \\

From the question

area = 5/6 sq. feet

width = 2/3 foot

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

The length is


length = (5)/(6) / (2)/(3) \\ = (5)/(6) * (3)/(2) \\ = (5)/(2) * (1)/(2) \\ = (5)/(4)

We have the final answer as


(5)/(4) \\

Hope this helps you
