Answer:
[tex]6[/tex] [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying length × width.
So, if our area is 33, and our width is 5, we need to find what number multiplies by 5 to get 33.
We know that 33 ÷ 5 = our length
We can also write division as a fraction: [tex]\frac{33}{5}= our length[/tex]
(A fraction is division, but it is not actually divided yet)
To find this number in mixed form, we need to find how many complete values of 5 go into 33
We know that 5 × 6 = 30, and that 5 cannot go into 3
meaning that we can make 6 groups of 5.
We write this as:
[tex]\frac{30}{5}= 6[/tex]
[tex]+\frac{3}{5} (remaining : 33 - 30 = 3)[/tex]
So, our length is: [tex]6[/tex] [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] [written in mixed formation]
hope this helps!
