Question

The area of a rectangular park is 3/5 square mile .The length of the park is 7/8 miles .What is the width of the park. I lve you all so help me ill pray tonight for you fellow braniacs

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle formula: A = L * W, where A is the area, L is the length, and W is the width.

3/5 = 7/8 * W

Now, solve for W using algebra.

(3/5) / (7/8) = (7/8 * W) / (7/8)
(3/5) / (7/8) = W

Answer 2

What's the slash sign mean

Answer 3

The slashes are the same as the division sign.

You can simplify from there. Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of it (flip the numerator and denominator).

Answer 4

I got an answer but can u simplify

Answer 5

What answer did you get mrs

Answer 6

Don't you multiplym 3/5 by 8/7 when you do the reciprocal

Answer 7

\[\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{7}{8} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{8}{7} = \frac{24}{35}\]
This fraction can't be simplified, as 24 and 35 don't have common factors.
