1. **Problem Statement:** Sanjay and Mira each have a garden with an area of 1.44 m². Sanjay's garden width is 0.8 m, Mira's garden width is 0.9 m. We need to find how much longer Sanjay's garden is compared to Mira's. 2. **Formula:** Area of a rectangle = width × length We can find the length by rearranging the formula: $$\text{length} = \frac{\text{area}}{\text{width}}$$ 3. **Calculate Sanjay's garden length:** $$\text{length}_{Sanjay} = \frac{1.44}{0.8} = 1.8\,m$$ 4. **Calculate Mira's garden length:** $$\text{length}_{Mira} = \frac{1.44}{0.9} = 1.6\,m$$ 5. **Find the difference in length:** $$\text{difference} = 1.8 - 1.6 = 0.2\,m$$ 6. **Answer:** Sanjay's garden is 0.2 meters longer than Mira's garden.
