Question 854984
{{{L}}}= length of the park (in miles).
{{{(3/8)*L}}}= width of the park (in miles).
The area of the park (in square miles is
{{{(3/8)L*L=6}}}
{{{(3/8)L^2=6}}}
Multiplying both sides of the equal sign times {{{(3/8)}}} we get
{{{(3/8)L^2=6}}}
{{{(8/3)*(3/8)L^2=(8/3)*6}}}
{{{L^2=16}}}
{{{highlight(L=4)}}} and the width is {{{(3/8)*4=3/2=highlight(1.5)}}} .
The park is {{{highlight(1.5)}}} miles wide by {{{highlight(4)}}} miles long.
