Answer:
Width of the rectangular banner is [tex]3\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangular banner = [tex]2\frac{7}{8}[/tex] square feet
= [tex]\frac{23}{8}[/tex] square feet
Area of rectangle is given by,
Area = Length × Width
Length of the banner = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet
From the formula,
[tex]\frac{23}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\times W[/tex]
W = [tex]\frac{\frac{23}{8} }{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{23}{8}\times \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{23}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]3\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft
Therefore, width of the rectangular banner is [tex]3\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ft
