Find the area of the rectangle if the length is 4 m 12 cm and the width is 4 times less.

To perform such tasks, the units of length are expressed in the same value.

Let’s turn to the metric system of measures.

1 m = 100 cm.

Find the width of the rectangle if it is known that it is 4 times less than the length.

4 m 12 cm / 4 = 412 cm / 4 = 103 cm.

Find the area of the rectangle.

412 cm * 103 cm = 42436 cm2 = 4 m2 24 dm2 36 cm2.

Answer: the area of the rectangle is 4 m2 24 dm2 36 cm2.
