Question

3. The area of a rectangle is 5/8 square foot. The width of the rectangle is 24
feet. What is the length of the rectangle?
a) 25/16 feet
b) 25/5 feet
c) 14 feet
d) 4 feet

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we know that the formula to fugure out area is :Length times Width

We also know that WIdth is 24. So 24 times __ =5/8.

Now, how do you figure out __? Well, let's first replace that as a variable to make it easier. Let's choose: x   Now, we know that:

x * 24 = 5/8.

To figure out x, we need to do 5/8 divided by 24, right?  When you solve that, the answer would be 15. The closest is 14, so I think the answer is 14.
