Answer:
Given: Arthur is building a rectangular sandbox for his son.
The area of the sandbox is 17 23/32 square feet.
The length of the sandbox is 3 3/8 feet,
To Find : the width of the sandbox
Solution:
Area of a rectangle = length * width
length = 3 3/8 feet = 27/8 feet
Area = 17 23/32 = (17 * 32 +23)/32 567/32 sq feet
Width 1 = wfeet
Substituting the values
=> 567/32 = (27/8) *x
Multiplying both sides by 8
=> 567/4 = 27x
=> 21 * 27/4 = 27x
Cancelling 27 from both sides
=> 21/4 = x
=> x = 21/4
Hence width of the sandbox = 21/4 feet =
5 1/4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it's help to you:)
