Answer:
15/8
Explanation:
The area of a rectangle is given as 5/6 square foot.
The width is given as 2/3 foot
But area if a Rectangle = Lenght × width
A = Lenght x width
5/6= Lenght × 2/3
If we make Lenght subject of the formula we have
lenght= (5/6) / (2/3)
length = (5×3)/(6×2)
Lenght= 5/4
To calculate the number of times greater is the length than the width we take the ratio of Lenght and width
Lenght / width = (5/4) / (2/3)
= (5×3)/(4×2)
= 15/8
Hence the number of times greater is the length than the width is 15/8
