The area of a mirror is 225 square inches, and its width is 13 3/4 inches. Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16 inches? Explain

If you multiply length times width to get area, it's the same with division. You do area divided by length or width. The equation would be 225 divided by 13 3/4. 225/13 3/4 = 16.36 inches. 16.36 > 16 inches, so the answer would be no. (The mirrors length and width are 13 3/4 inches by 16 9/25)
