Question 511535: The area of a rectangle is 12 meters. If its width is 2 4/7 meters, find its length. Found 3 solutions by oberobic, stanbon, MathLover1:Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A = L * W
.
A = 12 square meters
.
W = 2 4/7
.
W = 18/7
.
L * W = A
.
L * 18/7 = A
.
18L = 7A
.
18L = 7(12)
.
18L = 84
.
L = 84/18
.
L = 14/3
.
L = 4 2/3
.
Check the area to be sure these dimensions are correct.
.
18/7 * 14/3 = 18*14/3*7 = 12
Correct.
.
Answer: The length is 4 2/3 meters.
.
Done.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area of a rectangle is 12 meters square.
If its width is 2 4/7 meters, find its length.
-----
Area = length*width
12 m^2 = (L)(2 4/7 meters)
---
Length = 12/(18/7) meters
----
Length = 14/3 = 4 2/3 meters
