OpenStudy (bonnieisflash1.0):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (kevin):

I will leave this into 3mar since he comes first :)

OpenStudy (3mar):

area=length*width length=area÷width and you have \[width=4\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }=\frac{ 17 }{ 4 }\] and the area\[area=41\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 125 }{ 3 }\] Divide area by width \[length=\frac{ area }{ width }=\frac{ \frac{ 125 }{ 3 } }{ \frac{ 17 }{ 4 } }=\frac{ 500 }{ 51 }=9\frac{ 41 }{ 51 }\] inch
