A rectangular park has an area of 2/3 square mile. The length of the park is 2 2/3 the width of the park. What is the width of the park?

Respuesta :

Area of the rectangular park = 2/3 square mile
Let us assume the width of the rectangular park = x
Then
The length of the rectangular park = 2 2/3 * x mile
                                                       = 8x/3 mile
Then
Area of the rectangular park = Length * Width
2/3 = (8x/3) * x
2/3 = 8x^2/3
(2 * 3)/3 = 8x^2
2 = 8x^2
x^2 = 2/8
x^2 = 1/4
x^2 = (1/2)^2
x = 1/2
So the width of the park is 1/2 feet.
