The length of a rectangle is 2.5 times its width. The length of
the rectangle is 12 cm. What is
the width of the rectangle?

4.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, lets use the information we have. We need to find the width, or w. We know that is 2.5 times smaller than its length, and that the length is 12. So lets make an equation to solve:

12/2.5=w

We did this because we know that the length is 2.5 times bigger than the width, so to find the width we need to go 2.5 times smaller than the length, and the length is 12.

Now solve:

4.8=w

So the width of the rectangle is 4.8 centimeters.

width = 4.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be w then length = 2.5w

Given length = 12 cm , then

2.5w = 12 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

w = 4.8

That is width = 4.8 cm

m=9/7
