Marisol is painting on a piece of canvas that has an area of 180 square inches. The length of the painting is \(1 \frac{1}{4}\) times the width. What are the dimensions of the painting?

let x be a width 1 1/4x be the length (or it can be 5/4 i prefer this one)
formula for rectangle lxw=a 5x/4(x)=180 4[5x^2/4=180]4 5x^2=720 x^2=144 x=12
so width is 12 and length is 5x/4 5(12)/4 60/4 =15
