Please help I've been stuck on this for hours 10. Write an inverse variation to model the situation and answer the question. Two rectangular fields have the same area. One measures 75 yd by 60 yd. If the other has a length of 72 yd, what is its width?.

Answer 1

A = Area

w = width

l = length

A = w ∙ l

Divide both sides by l

A / l = w

w = A / l

Find the value of A by substituting the given information:

w = 60 yd

l = 75 yd

A = w ∙ l = 60 ∙ 75

A = 4500 yd²

Substitute l = 72 yd to find the width of the second field:

w = A / l

w = 4500 / l = 4500 / 72 = 62.5 yd

Answer 2

Thank you so much!!
