Question

A rectangular garden has an area of 6/7 square miles. If its length is 3/5 miles, what is its width?Input your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

The area of the garden is A = 6/7.

The length of the garden is l = 3/5.

The formula for the area of the rectangle is,

$A=l\times w$

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the width of the garden.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{6}{7}=\frac{3}{5}\times w \\ w=\frac{6}{7}\times\frac{5}{3} \\ =\frac{30}{21} \\ =\frac{10}{7} \end{gathered}$

So answer is 10/7.
