The area of a rectangular shape beach towel is 7/12 square yard. the width of the towel is 2/3 yards, what is the length of the towel?

Hey there!

To solve this, we can divide the numbers 7/12 and 2/3 . . .

7 x 3 = 21

12 x 2 = 24

= 21/24

Simplifying 21/24 . . .

21/24 = 7/8 <

To make sure the answer 7/8 is correct, we can multiply the numbers 7/8 and 2/3 . . .

7 x 2 = 14

8 x 3 = 24

= 14/24

Simplifying 14/24 . . .

14/24 = 7/12

The number 7/8 is correct.

The length of the towel is 7/8 square yards.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
