Question

Joanne buys a rectangular rug with and area of 35/4 square meters. The length of the rug is 7/2 meters. What is the width,in meters, of the rug?

Answer 1

The area is calculated as L * W
L = 7/2
A = 35/4

35/4 = 7/2 * x /multiply both sides by 4
35 = 2*7 * 4x
35 = 14 * 4x
4x = 35/14
4x = 5/2
x = 5/2 / 4
x = 5/2 * 1/4
x = 5/8

Check if its correct, I might be wrong :)
