<PRE><B>Question 680578</B>
Three paintings, each measuring 1 nd 3/4 meters wide, are hung in the display space.
 What is the total area of the three paintings?
:
You give the paintings as 1.75 meters wide, no mention of the their length.
How can we know the areas of the individual paintings without that?
:
Using your answer, the individual areas would be 12.6/3 = 4.2 sq/m each
:
Then assuming the width as 1.75 meters, the length would be 4.2/1.75 = 2.4 meters
:
Is this correct, if not, what is the length?</PRE>
