A rectangular poster has an area of 22 square feet. It is 3 2/3

feet wide at its base. What is the height of the​ poster?

To find the height of the poster, we can divide the area of the poster by its width.

22 square feet / 3 2/3 feet = 22 square feet / (11/3) feet.

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal.

22 square feet * (3/11 feet) = 22/11 square feet = 2 square feet.

The height of the poster is 2 feet.
