Can ! 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? . show your work

equation is: width = area / length
width = 62.5 yd

Explanation:
For the first rectangle:
We have:
length = 75 yd and width = 60 yd
Therefore:
area = length * width 
area = 75 * 60
area = 4500 yd²

For the second rectangle:
We have:
area = area of first rectangle = 4500 yd²
length = 72 yd
area = length * width
width = area / length > The required equation
width = 4500 / 72
width = 62.5 yd

Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is c

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
