Answer:

[tex]Length = 41\frac{7}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Width = 8\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Length = 4\frac{7}{8}[/tex] times as long as the width

Required

Determine the length

To do this, we simply multiply the length by [tex]4\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Length = 4\frac{7}{8} * Width[/tex]

Substitute [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for width

[tex]Length = 4\frac{7}{8} * 8\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Convert to improper numbers

[tex]Length = \frac{39}{8} * \frac{17}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Length = \frac{39*17}{8*2}[/tex]

[tex]Length = \frac{663}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Length = 41\frac{7}{16}[/tex]
