a rectangular parking lot has an area of 7/10 square kilometer the width is 1/3 kilometer what is the length of the parking lot written as an improper fraction in kilometers

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{1}{10}[/tex] km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • The are of a rectangle as 7/10 km²
  • Width of the rectangle is 1/3 km

We are required to find the length of the rectangle;

We need to know how to find the area of a rectangle first;

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Rearranging the formula;

Length = Area of rectangle ÷ Width

            = 7/10 km² ÷ 1/3 km

   We get;

           [tex]=\frac{7}{10} *\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

           [tex]=\frac{21}{10}[/tex]

           [tex]=2\frac{1}{10} km[/tex] (improper fraction)

Thus, the length of the rectangular park is [tex]2\frac{1}{10}[/tex] km
