The two rectangles have the same area. The length of the first rectangle is 3.2 cm and the width is 1.5 cm.

The two rectangles have the same area. The length of the first rectangle is 3.2 cm and the width is 1.5 cm. The length of the second rectangle is 3 cm. Find the width of the second rectangle.

Since two rectangles have the same area, we can draw up an equation, where (3.2cm * 1.5cm) is the area of the 1st, and (3cm * xcm) is the area of the 2nd
Let’s equate the area:
3.2cm * 1.5cm = 3cm * xcm
4.8cm = 3cm * xcm
x = 4.8: 3
x = 1.6cm
Answer: 1.6cm
