Question 948699: The length of a ractangular parking lot at the airport is 2/3(two-thirds) mile.If the area is 1/2 (half) square mile, what is the width of the parking lot Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! W=width
Area=L*W
1/2 sq mi=(2/3 mi)(W) Multiply each side by 3 mi/2
(3 mi/2)(1/2 sq mi)=(3 mi/2)(2/3 mi)(W)
3/4 mi=W ANSWER: The width of the lot is 3/4 mile.
CHECK
A=L*W
1/2 sq mi=(2/3 mi)(3/4 mi)
1/2 sq mi=6/12 sq mi
1/2 sq mi=1/2 sq mi
