Question

Good evening. I posted a math question earlier that I never received any help on because someone posted something inappropriate.

My new math problem is as follows:
The area of a rectangular piece of a land is 3/16 square miles. If the width of the piece of land is 1/6 mile what is the length?

I know that the formula is:
A=lw
A=3/16 square miles
L=?
W=1/6 mile

Would I divide 3/16 divided by 1/6 and then just flip the second fraction and multiply

3/16 x 6/1=1 1/8?
Would 1 1/8 be my answer?

Answer 1

(3/16)/(1/6)
(3/16) * 6 = 18/16 = 1 1/8

Yes. The length is 1 1/8 mile.

Answer 2

Thank you Ms. Sue for checking on this. Also how would I be able to double check on this to see if I got the correct answer? Is there a way to do that?

Answer 3

Multiply 9/8 * 1/6 to see if the product is 3/16.
