The area of a rectangular city park is 7/8 square miles. The length of the park is 4/8 mile. What is the width, in miles, of the park?

Answer 1

Answer:

The width of the given rectangular park is $\frac{7}{4}$ miles

That is $W=\frac{7}{4}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that area of the rectangular city park A is $\frac{7}{8}$ square miles and its length L is $\frac{4}{8}$ miles

Now to find the width of the rectangular park:

Area of the rectangle=length\times width square miles

$A=L\times W$

$\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{8}\times W$

$\frac{7}{8}\times \frac{8}{4}=W$

Rewritting the above equation

$W=\frac{7}{8}\times \frac{8}{4}$

$=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore $W=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore the width of the given rectangular park is $\frac{7}{4}$ miles

That is $W=\frac{7}{4}$ miles
