grandma susette is making a quilt. if the area of the quilt is 24 3/5 square feet and one side has a length of 4 1/10 what is the width of the quilt ?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
A = 24 3/5 = (24*5 +3)/5 = 123/5 ft^2 the area
l = 4 1/10 = (4*10 + 1)/10 = 41/10 ft the length
w = the width, w>0
since the area = length*width we have:
l*w = A
(41/10)*w = 123/5
by solving we find:
w = 6 ft

the width of the quilt is 6 feet.
