Question

The length of a rectangle is three times its width the length is 3 3/4 feet. What is the area if the rectangle?

Answer 1

A = 4 11/16 or 4.6875

Explanation:

3 3/4 = 3W

divide both sides by 3

15/4 divided by 3 = W

15/4 x 1/3 = W

5/4 = W

A = L x W

3 3/4 x 1 1/4 = 15/4 x 5/4 = 75/16 = 4 11/16
