THE AREA OF A RECTANGUALR GARDEN IS 240 SQ FT. IF THE LENGTH OF THE GARDEN IS 20 FT.,WHAT IS ITS WIDTH?
A = LW
240 = 20 * W
240 / 20 = W
? = W

To find the width of the rectangular garden, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width.
Let's denote the width of the garden as "w". Given that the length of the garden is 20 ft and the area is 240 sq ft, we have the following equation:
Length × Width = Area
Substituting the given values into the equation:
20 ft × w = 240 sq ft
Now, to find the width of the garden, we need to isolate "w" on one side of the equation. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by 20 ft:
(w × 20 ft) / 20 ft = 240 sq ft / 20 ft
Simplifying:
w = 12 ft
So, the width of the rectangular garden is 12 feet.
