James has a piece of construction paper with an area of \(65 \frac{1}{4}\) square inches. It is \(9 \frac{2}{3}\) inches long. What is the width of the piece of construction paper in inches?
Answer (3)
L X W = A…. A/L = W.
65.25/9.66 = 6.75 (6 3/4)
Answer-
The width of the pieces of construction paper is 6 4 3 inch
Solution-
James has a piece of construction paper with an area 65 4 1 = 4 261 inch²
Length of the paper is 9 3 2 = 3 29 inch
We know that,
Area = Length × Width
Putting the values,
⇒ 4 261 = 3 29 × Width
⇒ Width = 4 261 × 29 3
⇒ Width = 4 9 × 3
⇒ Width = 4 27
⇒ Width = 6 4 3 inch
Therefore, the width of the pieces of construction paper is 6 4 3 inch
The width of the piece of construction paper is 6 4 3 inches. This is calculated using the area formula for a rectangle. First, we converted the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then solved for the width.
