the width of a vegetable garden is 1/3 times its length. If the length of the garden is 7 3/4 feet, what is the width in simplest form

Question

 what is the width of the veggie garden?

Answer 1

Hi, Hailey

 

So, the length (L) = 7 3/4 ft = 31/4 (as an improper fraction)

 

the width (W)  = (1/3)xL

 

So the width = 1/3 x (31/4) =

31/12 = 2  7/12 feet
