The length of a rectangle is 8/3 times as greater as its width. What is the width of this rectangle if its length is 24 feet?

The width of the rectabgle is 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that the length is 8/3 times of width.

Let's assume that the width is x feet.

So length = (8/3) * x

Given that the length of rectangle is 24feet.

Plugging the values

24 = (8/3) * x

24 = 8x/3

Cross multiplying

24*3 = 8x

72/8 = x

9 = x

So width = 9 feet.

9

Step-by-step explanation:

24/1 : 8/3 = 72/8

72 : 8 = 9

The width is 9 feet
