A rectangle with width \(\frac{3}{4}\)cm and area 3 \(\frac{3}{8}\)cm\(^2\). Find the length
- 6cm
-
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)cm
- 2 \(\frac{5}{8}\)cm
- 12cm
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
The area of a rectangle = length ✕ width
: Length = area ÷ width → 3 \(\frac{3}{8}\) ÷ \(\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{27}{8}\) * \(\frac{4}{3}\)
= 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)cm
