A dollar bill has an area of 15.86 square inches. If a dollar bill is 2.6 inches long, how wide is it?

Question

qwarrow · Answer

To calculate the width of a dollar bill that has an area of 15.86 square inches and is 2.6 inches long, you would use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length × width . Since you're given the length (2.6 inches) and the total area (15.86 square inches), you can rearrange the formula to solve for the width: 
 width = area ÷ length 
 Therefore, you have: 
 width = 15.86 in.² ÷ 2.6 in. = 6.1 inches (approximately). 
 The width of the dollar bill is approximately 6.1 inches.
