Question

The area of a rectangular park is 3/5 square mile. The length of the park is 7/8 mile. What is the width of the park

Answer 1

\(\bf {\color{blue}{ Area}} = {\color{blue}{ Length}} \cdot Width\qquad Area = {\color{blue}{ \cfrac{3}{5}}}mi\qquad Length = {\color{blue}{ \cfrac{7}{8}}}mi
\\ \quad \\
{\color{blue}{ \cfrac{3}{5}}}={\color{blue}{ \cfrac{7}{8}}}\cdot Width\implies {\color{blue}{ \cfrac{3}{5}}}={\color{blue}{ \cfrac{7{\color{black}{ Width}}}{8}}}\)

solve for "width"
