Answer:

[tex]\frac{24}{35}mi[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length • width

area = [tex]\frac{3}{5}mi^{2}[/tex]

length = [tex]\frac{7}{8} mi[/tex]

width = x

[tex]\frac{3}{5} = \frac{7}{8} x[/tex]                   multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{8}{7}[/tex] (the reciprocal of [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex])

[tex](\frac{8}{7})(\frac{3}{5}) = x[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{24}{35}[/tex]

Answer:

24/35 is your answer

Divide 3/5 by 7/8 to get the answer of 24/35
