PLS HELP ME ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, AND PLS EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER<3

A field has an area of 9/20 square mile. Determine the width of the field if the length is 9/10 mile long.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \sf \: \frac{1}{2} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• fraction
• PEMDAS
• equation

given:

• area:$\frac{9}{20}$
• length:$\frac{9}{10}$

to find:

• width

tips and formulas:

• area of a rectangle=l×w

let's solve:

let width be w

according to the question

the equation is

$\sf \frac{9}{10 } \times w = \frac{9}{20}$

let's figure out the equation

1. $\tt \: divide \: both \: sides \: by \: \frac{9}{10} : \\ \sf\frac{9}{10} \div \frac{9}{10} \times w = \frac{9}{20} \div \frac{9}{10}$
2. $\tt simplify : \\ \sf\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{10}{9} \times w = \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{10}{9} \\ \therefore \: \tt \: w = \frac{1}{2}$
