Answer:
The width of the piece of construction paper is 6.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the paper = [tex]65\frac{1}{4} = 65.25 [/tex]sq inches
The length of the paper = [tex]9\frac{2}{3} = 9.66[/tex] in
Let the width of the paper = w inches
Now, AREA OF THE PAPER = LENGTH x WIDTH
or, 65.25 sq. inches = 9. 66 in x w in
⇒ 65.25 = 9.66 x w
or, [tex]w = \frac{65.25}{9.66} \implies w = 6.75[/tex]
or, w = 6. 75 inches
Hence, the width of the piece of construction paper is 6.75 inches.
