Answer:
Let's start by using the formula for the area of a rectangle:
area = length x width
We know that the length is 3 1/4 yards and the area is 9 3/4 square yards, so we can substitute those values in and solve for the width:
9 3/4 = (13/4) x width
To isolate the variable, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 13/4, which is 4/13:
(9 3/4) x (4/13) = (13/4) x (4/13) x width
3 = width
Therefore, the width of the swimming pool is 3 yards, which is option A.
Can someone help me and answer this
Jaden made a rectangular sign that is 1.4 meters long and 1.2 meters wide to post on the wall of his store. How many square meters of wall does the sign cover? The answer is 1.68, but to solve the problem, you need to find 1.4 x 1.2(which it is 1.68). Estimate the area of wall that the sign will cover. Explain your thinking please.
