A piece of land is 4
5/6
miles wide. It is 5 times as long as it is wide. How long is the piece of land?
Let x be the length of the piece of land.
Given that the piece of land is 5 times as long as it is wide, we have:
x = 5(4 5/6)
x = 5(29/6)
x = 145/6
x = 24 1/6
Therefore, the piece of land is 24 1/6 miles long.
