Answer:
11/6 or 1 5/6yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = Length x Width
2 3/4 = 1 1/2 w
11/4 = 3/2w to change 2 3/4 into an improper fraction see this as 2 wholes plus 3/4. Another name for 2 wholes is 8/4 then add the 3/4. 8/4 + 3/4 is 11/4.
Do the same for 1 1/2 which is 1 + 1/2 change 1 into 2/2 and add it to 1/2 which would be 3/2.
Now solve for x
(2/3) (11/4) = (3/2) (2/3) w when I multiply 3/2 by its reciprocal of 2/3, I get the number 1 and 1 times w is just w.
22/12 =w. I just multiplies the tops with the bottoms. Now, divide the top and the bottom by 2 and you end up with 11/6. If I divide 11 by 6, it will go into 11 one time with 5 left over. The denominator remains 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area A of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = L*W. Solving this for W, we get A/L.
Substituting 2 3/4 yd^2 for A and 1 1/2 yd for L, we get:
W = (2 3/4 yd)^2 / (1 1/2 yd)
This is equivalent to (11/4 yd^2 divided by (6/4 yd), or 11/6 yd.
The width of this garden is 11/6 yard, or 1 5/6 yard.
