A small rug is 36 inch. long. It's width is 2/3 of it's length. What is the width of the rug in feet?
Multiply your 36 by 2/3 and then convert to feet : )
To John Thank you
To find the width of the rug in feet, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit. Given that the length of the rug is 36 inches, and the width is 2/3 of the length, we can determine the width as follows:
Width = (2/3) * Length
First, let's convert the length from inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we divide the length by 12:
Length (in feet) = 36 inches / 12 inches/foot = 3 feet
Now we can substitute the length value into the equation to find the width:
Width = (2/3) * 3 feet
Simplifying this expression:
Width = 2 feet
Therefore, the width of the rug is 2 feet.
