    A. Substitute the known values into the formula: 140 = 7 (w) (5).

    - Solve for the unknown: w = 4 m.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Solid Shape: Rectangular Prism

    Volume = 140m³

    Length = 7m

    Height = 5m

    The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the following formula

    V = LWH

    Where V represents the volume; L represents the length; W represents the width and H represents the height of the prism.

    From the given data above;

    V = 140; L = 7 and H = 5

    To calculate W, we have to substitute the given values in the above equation

    This gives;

    140 = 7 * w * 5

    The above expression is represented by option A; hence option A is correct.

    Solving further

    Collect like terms

    140 = 7 * 5 * w

    140 = 35 * w

    140 = 35w

    Divide through by 35

    140/35 = 35w/35

    4 = w

    Reorder

    w = 4m

    With this option D is also selected.
