Question

a rectangular table has an area of 4/5 square meter. the length of the table 8/3 meters What is the width,in meters of the table

A:3/10 meters
B:1/3 meters
C:1/2 meters
D:2/3 meters

Answer 1

we know that
[area of rectangle]=length*width------> width=area/length

width=area/length-----> (4/5)/(8/3)----> 12/40----> 6/20----> 3/10 m

the answer is
the width is (3/10) m

Answer 2

Answer:

A. $\frac{3}{10}$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent width of table.

We have been given that a rectangular table has an area of $\frac{4}{5}$ square meter. the length of the table $\frac{8}{3}$ meters. We are asked to find the width of the table.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length. We can represent our given information in equation as:

$w\times \frac{8}{3}=\frac{4}{5}$

$w\times \frac{8}{3}\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{3}{8}$

$w=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{3}{2}$

$w=\frac{1\times3}{5\times 2}$

$w=\frac{3}{10}$

Therefore, the width of rectangular table is $\frac{3}{10}$ meters and option A is the correct choice.
