The area of a rectangle is 24 square inches. The rectangle is 6 inches long. How wide is the rectangle? A. 10 inches

B. 2 inches

C. 4 inches

D. 18 inches

The correct answer is C. 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the area is 24 square inches.

We know that the rectangle is 6 inches long.

Remember that the formula for the area of a rectangle is length * width

1. Plug in the length and area into the formula:

6 * width = 24

2. Solve for width to get your answer:

Divide each side by 6

(6 * width) / 6 = 24/6

width = 4

3. Plug 4 back into the equation to check your solution:

6 * 4 = 24

c. 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

6 times 4 is 24 inches
