The length and width of the rectangle, respectively, are 5 whole 3/5 m and 2 whole 3/8 m.

The length and width of the rectangle, respectively, are 5 whole 3/5 m and 2 whole 3/8 m. Find the width of another rectangle, the length of which is 3 whole 1/5 m, and the area is equal to the area of the first rectangle.

1. Let’s calculate the area of the first rectangle if the length is 5 3/5 m, the width is 2 3/8 m.

5 3/5 m * 2 3/8 m = 28/5 m * 19/8 m = 532/40 m ^ 2 = 13 12/40 m ^ 2 = 13 3/10 m ^ 2.

2. Find the width of the second rectangle if its area is equal to the area of the first rectangle, and the length is 3 1/5 m.

13 3/10 m ^ 2: 3 1/5 m = 532/40 m ^ 2: 16/5 m = 532 * 5: 40: 16 m = 2660: 640 = 4 100/640 m = 4 100/640 m = 4 10/64 m = 4 5/32 m.

Answer: The width of the second rectangle is 4 5/32 m.
