The area of a rectangle is 12 and 2/5 square feet. The length of this rectangle is 3 and 7/8 feet. What is the width?

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

To find the area of a rectangle you multiply the length times the width. Since you have the area and the length, you do the opposite, divide.

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

12 and 2/5 divided by 3 and 7/8 = 3 and 1/5.

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

So the width of this rectangle is 3 and 1/5.
