Abigail made a quilt that has an area of 4,800 square inches. The length of the quilt is 1 and 1/3 times the width of the quilt. What are the dimensions of the quilt?

If you would like to know what are the dimensions of the quilt, you can calculate this using the following steps:

the area ... 4,800 square inches

the length ... 1 1/3 * x = 4/3 * x

the width ... x

4,800 = 1 1/3 * x * x

4,800 = 4/3 * x^2 / * 3/4

x^2 = 4,800 * 3/4

x^2 = 3,600

x = 60 inches

1 1/3 * x = 4/3 * 60 inches = 80 inches

Result: The length of the quilt is 80 inches and the width of the quilt is 60 inches.
