Steps:
1. To do this problem, you have to divide the area by the length 
2. To make this easier, turn both numbers into improper fractions
143/32 divided by 11/4
3. To divide you actually have to multiply by the reciprocal
143/32 times 4/11 equals 572/352
4. Turn 572/352 into a mixed number which is 1 220/352
5. Now you simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by 44
6. Your answer is.
