Given:
a.) Rachel had a sheet of paper that was 2 inches long & the area was 14 inches.
Let's determine the width of the paper.
[tex]\text{ Area = Length x Width}[/tex][tex]\text{ Width = }\frac{\text{ Area}}{\text{ Length}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 14}}{\text{ 2}}[/tex][tex]\text{ Width = = 7 inches}[/tex]Therefore, the width of the sheet of paper is 7 inches.
