Question

The area of a rectangular piece of land is 2/3 square mile.

One dimension is 1 1⁄2 miles.

Answer 1

Answer:

4/9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

                 $\sf Area = \dfrac{2}{3} \ square \ miles$

               $\sf length = 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2} \ miles$

$\sf Width \ of \ rectangle = \dfrac{Area}{length}$

                             $\sf = \dfrac{2}{3} \div \ \dfrac{3}{2}\\\\ =\dfrac{2}{3}*\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\ =\dfrac{4}{9} \ miles$
