Question

Please help☹️

The area of a rectangle is length x width. Sasha is looking at a store for rent. The floor plan is rectangular. The length of the store is
21 2/3 feet, and the area is 325 square feet. What is the width of the store?

6th grade math.

Please help

Answer 1

Answer:  

The width of the store is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area (l×w) of the store is 325 square ft., then we just solve for width using the area and the length.

$width = \frac{area}{length}$

which would be

$width = \frac{325}{21.6}$

which equals 15

Hope this helps! If you could mark this answer as brainliest I would really appreciate it!

Answer 2

Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

set up your equation

a = l x w

325 = 21 2/3 x w now find width (w) by getting it by itself so divide both sides of equal sign by 21 2/3

w = 325 / (21 2/3)

change 21 2/3 to a mixed fraction = 65/3

w = 325 / (65/3)  now we multiply by reciprocal (flip 65/3)

w = 325 x 3/65   now reduce with greatest divisor (which is 65)

w = 5 x 3

w = 15

I hope that makes some sense.
