1. The length of a rectangle is 90 in. Its area is less than 380 in-. What is the

greatest possible width of the rectangle, to the nearest inch?

To find the area of a rectangle, do length times width. Because we know the length (90 in), we can divide 380 by 90 to find the maximum possible width. This is possible because of the equation width = Area/length, which is derived from width * length = Area. 380/90 = 4.222, so the maximum width to the nearest possible inch is 4 inches.
