A rectangular park has an area of 2_3 square mile. The length of the park is 22_3 the width of the park. What is the width of the park?
this is the example of how they want them solving it
The width of the room is 5/6 the length of the room. What are the dimensions of Kamal’s bedroom?
Guess: 6 x 20 = 120
Check: 5/6x 20 162/3 ; try a longer width.
Guess: 10 x 12 =120
check: 5/6 x12 = 10. Correct
what does 2_3 mean?
2/3?
2.3?
To find the width of the park, we need to solve the equation given. Let's break it down and solve it step by step.
Given:
Area of the park = 2/3 square mile
Length of the park = 22/3 times the width of the park
Step 1: Assign variables
Let's assume the width of the park as 'w'.
Step 2: Write the equation
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length * width.
So, we can write the equation as follows:
2/3 = (22/3) * w
Step 3: Solve the equation
To solve for 'w', we need to isolate the variable on one side.
Divide both sides of the equation by (22/3) to get:
(2/3) / (22/3) = w
Step 4: Simplify
Simplifying the expression on the right side:
(2/3) * (3/22) = w
2/22 = w
1/11 = w
So, the width of the park is 1/11 of a mile, or in fraction form, 1/11 mile.
