Answer 3

First convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
\[w=5\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }=\frac{16}{3}\]\[A=44\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{134}{3}\]
Now we can find length:
\[l=\frac{A}{w}\]\[l=\frac{ 134 }{ 3 } \div \frac{16}{3}\]\[l=\frac{134}{3} \times \frac{3}{16}\]\[l=\frac{134}{16}=\frac{67}{8}=8\frac{3}{8}\]
