The area of a rectangular rug is 14 1/2 square yards.the length of the rug is 4 1/3 . what is the width

Well area is length time width and to do the opposite you have to divide. Just do 14 1/2 ÷ 4 1/3. If you use a calculator you would get 3.34615385, but all you pretty much need is 3.346. Your width is 3.346 and length is 4 1/2 or 4.5. Check by multiplying them you would get 14 1/2 or 14.5.

Hoped I helped!

The area of a rectangle is 14 1/2 yds ^2
the length is 4 1/3
the width is ?
the formula for the area is A = L * W
to plug in what we know
14 1/2 = 4 1/3 * W
Let's make it all improper fractions
so 29/2 = 13/3 *W
simplify 13/3W to 13W/3
29/2 = 13W/3
multiply both sides by 3
87/2 = 13W
divide both sides by 13
87/26 = W
3 9/26 is the width of the rectangular rug

Hope this helps :)

The rate would be C.22.50, because that's the first hour and if you add that it makes the second hour
