A rectangle with width \(\frac{3}{4}\)cm and area 3 \(\frac{3}{8}\)cm\(^2\). Find the length
A
6cm
B
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)cm
C
2 \(\frac{5}{8}\)cm
D
12cm
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
The area of a rectangle = length ✕ width
: Length = area \div width → 3 \(\frac{3}{8}\) \div \(\frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{27}{8}\) * \(\frac{4}{3}\)
= 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)cm
