A rectangular plot of land has an area of of a square mile. If w represents the width of the rectangular plot, which expression can be used to represent its length?
For a rectangle: Area = length x width ---> A = l·w or l·w = A
---> l·w = 1/7
Now, to solve for l, divide both sides by w:
---> l·w ÷ w = 1/7 ÷ w
---> l = 1/7 ÷ w
of a square mile. If w represents the width of the rectangular plot, which expression can be used to represent its length?
