a rectangular frame has a length of 3 and 1/8 feet and an area of 2 and 3/4 feet.what is the width,w, feet,of the fame? please add work or explain
If you would like to find the width of the frame in feet, you can do this using the following steps:
length width = area
3 1/8 feet width = 2 3/4 square feet
25/8 feet width = 11/4 square feet
25/8 width = 11/4
width = 11/4 / 25/8
width = 11/4 * 8/25
width = 22/25 = 0.88 feet
The correct result would be 22/25 feet.
\(Formula = length(l) * width(w) = area(a)\)
\(3 \ \dfrac{1}{8} feet * width(w) = 2 \ \dfrac{3}{4} square feet\)
\(\dfrac{25}{8} feet * width(w) = \dfrac{11}{4} square \ feet\)
\(\dfrac{25}{8} * width(w) = \dfrac{11}{4}\)
\(width(w) = \dfrac{11}{4} / \dfrac{25}{8}\)
\(width(w) = \dfrac{11}{4} * \dfrac{8}{25}\)
\(width(w) = \dfrac{22}{25} = 0.88 \ feet\)
