The length / of a rectangle is equal to its area A divided by its width w

Question

Translating word phrases into algebra! Help, I’m having trouble with a few more too kinda confused on the “/“

Answer 1

The "/" is intended to be the letter L, lower case, i.e. the rectangle's area A = lw.

In this font, which does not have serifs, the lower case L is not recognizable, and a better choice of notation would be 

A = LW.

 

By the miracle of Algebra, L = A/W.
