The area of a rectangular city park is 7/8 square miles. The length of the park is 4/8 mile. What is the width, in miles, of the park?

Respuesta :

The width of park is [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of park  = [tex]\frac{7}{8}\ square\ miles[/tex]

Length of park = [tex]\frac{4}{8}\ mile[/tex]

Let,

w be the width of park.

Area = Length * Width

[tex]\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{8}w[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{4}*\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8}{4}*\frac{4}{8}w\\\frac{7}{4}=w\\w=\frac{7}{4}\ mile[/tex]

The width of park is [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] miles.
