Width = (3/4) ft

Explanation:

Area (A) = length (l) * width (w)

Given Area 3/5 sqft and length = 4/5 ft

Width (w) #= A / l = (3/5)/(4/5)#

#w = (3/5) * (5/4)#

#w = (3* cancel(5))/(cancel (5) * 4) = 3/4 ft#

#3/4# ft

Explanation:

Area of Rectangle: #A=l*w#
#A=#Area
#l=#Length
#w=#Width

What We Know:
#A=3/5#
#l=4/5#

Substitute these values that into the formula.
#A=l*w#
#(3/5)=(4/5)*w#
Solve for #w# by dividing both sides by #4/5#, isolating #w#.
#3/5-:4/5=(4/5*w)-:4/5#
#3/5*5/4=(4/5*w)*5/4#
#15/20=20/20*w#
#3/4=1*w#
#w=3/4#

Don't forget units!
#w=3/4# ft
