Question

A rectangular garden has an area of 37 square miles. If its length is 28 miles, what is its width?

Input your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{37}{28}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the area formula, A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.

Plug in the area and length into the formula, and solve for w:

A = lw

37 = 28w

37/28 = w

So, as a fraction, the width of the garden is $\frac{37}{28}$ miles

Answer 2

Answer:

37/28 =w

Step-by-step explanation:

Area for a rectangle is given by

A = l*w

Substitute in what we know

37 = 28*w

Divide each side by 28

37/28 = 28w/28

37/28 =w
