Question 163351: The instructions ask to find the missing dimension for each rectangle. The numbers inside represent the area.
So if the area inside a rectangle is 15, and one side is X, what is the other side? I was thinking it would be 15/x because the x's would cancel each other and you would be left with 15. Is this right?
