Answer: Yes, the answer is 8 8/11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining that area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The length of on side of the rectangle is 2 3/4 units. Converting 2 3/4 units to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 units.

The rectangle has an area of 24 square units. Therefore, the other side length of the rectangle would be

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

8 8/11 units
