Question

The area of a playground is 80 square yards. The length of the playground is 5 times longer than its width.
Find the length and width of the playground.

Answer 1

So usually to find area its Length x Width but in your case we revers it

: Area divided by length = width (:
it would look like 80 divided by 5

Answer 2

so what is 80 divided by 5 ? (:

Answer 3

SO now if we check our work it would look like 16 * 5
which is 80!! so its correct. Yourwelcome.have a bless day

Answer 4

The problem with that answer is that 16 is not 5 times 5. You should hav e solved
w * 5w = 80
w^2 = 16
w = 4
So the field is 4x20
Note that 20 = 5x4.

Answer 5

the answer is w=4 I think
