The area of the rectangle is 5/12 square inches. Find the length of X if the width is 3/4 square inches.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length * width
\n" ); document.write( "5/12 = (3/4)x
\n" ); document.write( "x = (5/12)/(3/4)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = (5/12)*(4/3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20/36
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5/9 inches (length)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
