Question

A rectangle patio has a length of 12 1/2 feet and an area of 103 1/8 square feet. What is the width of the patio?

Answer 1

area of a rectangle = length x width
12 1/2 x width = 103 1/8
width = 103 1/8 ÷ 12 1/2
= 825/8 ÷ 25/2
= 825/8 x 2/25
= 1650/200
= 33/4
= 8 1/4
= 8.25

The width of the patio would be 8.25 feet.
