    48 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The length of the rug is 6 feet. We know this must account for 2 sides of the rug, so let's multiply 6 by 2.

    6 * 2 = 12

    Now subtract 12 from 20.

    20 - 12 = 8

    Now divide 8 by 2 to find the measurement of the remaining two sides.

    8 : 2 = 4.

    The width of the rug is 4 feet. The question wants to find the width in inches, however. So multiply 4 by 12 because there are 12 inches in each foot.

    4 * 12 = 48

    The width of the rug is 48 inches.
