Question

the area of a rectangular city park is 25/54 square miles. the lenth of the park is 5/9 mile. what is the width, in miles ,of the park?? how do i show work what do i do ??

Answer 1

A = l * w
25/54 miles^2 = l * 5/9 mile
l = (25/54)/(5/9) = 5/6 mile

Answer 2

A = l * w
(25/54) = (5/9) * w
(9/5) (25/54) = (9/5)(5/9) = w
cross cancel
(5/6) mile = w
