Eleanor and Max used two rectangular wooden boards to make a set for the school play. One board was 6 feet long, and the other was 5 1/2 feet long. The two boards had equal widths. The total area of the set was 60 3/8 square feet. What was the width?
THANK YOU!
what's the fricking answer buddy i cant get this answer wrong please help
(60 3/8) / (11 1/2) = (483/8)/(23/2) = (483/8)*(2/23)= (966/184)= 5 46/184 = 5 23/92
Chez\
60 3/8 = 11 1/2 * W
(66 3/8) / (11 1/2) = W
