Parking lot a is 1/4 Mile Long and 3/16 miles wide parking lot B is 3/8 mile long and 1/8 mile wide what is the difference between the areas of parking lot A and B

Answer: There is no difference as the difference equals 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking lot a is 1/4 Mile Long and 3/16 miles wide

Area = length * width

= 1/4 * 3/16

= 3/64

Parking lot B is 3/8 mile long and 1/8 mile wide

Area = length * width

= 3/8 * 1/8

= 3/64

Difference between the areas of parking lot A and B will be:

3/64 - 3/64

= 0

There is no difference.

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the parking lot has a rectangular area, therefore, what we must do is calculate the area of each one knowing this.

The area is equal to length times width, therefore:

A

aA = 1/4 * 3/16 = 0.047 mi ^ 2

B

aB = 3/8 * 1/8 = 0.047 mi ^ 2

With the result we can realize that the area they have is exactly the same, therefore the difference is 0.
