PLEASE HELP

Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play. One board was 4 feet long, and the other was 4 1/2 feet long. The two pieces of plywood had equal widths. The total area of the stage was 44 5/8 square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

Answer :

5 1/4 feet you divide 44 5/8 by the combined length, 8 1/2, and get 5 1/4.

Answer: 5¼


Step-by-step explanation:
Length = 4 + 4.5 = 8.5 ft
Area = 44⅝
Width = Area/ Length
44⅝ ÷8.5
357/68 × 1/8.5 = 5¼
