Answer:

110/289 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Area of the floor= 55/14 square feet.

The length of the floor= 8 1/2 feet-----convert to simple fraction= 17/2 feet

Step two:

The expression for the area of the room is

Area= L*W

55/14= 17/2*W

55/14=17W/2

cross multiply

17W*14=55*2

289W=110

divide both sides by 289

W= 110/289 feet
