Answer:
The width W is :
[tex]W=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the area of the rectangle
Let L be the length of the rectangle
Let W be the width of the rectangle
______
Formula:
A = L × W
__________
[tex]\begin{aligned}A &=L \times W \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{A}{L} \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{8}} \\&=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} \\&=\frac{3 \times 8}{8 \times 5} \\&=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}[/tex]
