Answer 1

Hey dear here is your answer!!!!!!

Although , I already answered it ...

Area = length × width
77/3 = 42/5 × width
77/3÷42/5 = width
77/3×5/42 = width
width = 55/18 m

Your given answer is wrong u can verify it by putting the value ...

Hope it helps u dear...☺️☺️☺️

Answer 2

Hope u like my process
=====================
Length = 42/5 m

Let width be x m

Area of rectangle = 77/3 m²

width = area of rectangle ÷ length

$= \frac{77}{3} \div \frac{42}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{77}{3} \times \frac{5}{42} = \frac{11}{3} \times \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{55}{18} \\ \\ = \frac{55}{18}$
Hope this is ur required answer
