Area = Length * Width
Solving for Length, you get Length = Area / Width
Plugging in your numbers Length = 38 1/4 divided by 4 1/2
Make improper fractions out of the area and width: 153/4 and 9/2
To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second one: 153/4 *2/9
To multiply fractions, multiply across the top and the bottom to get the respective answers: 306/36
The simplify: 17/2 which is 8 1/2
So the length = 8 1/2
