    The width of the construction paper is 12 inches.

    The formula for area is length (l) * width (w) = area in units squared (a^2).

    To find the width, we divide both sides by length, this gives us the following:

    17*w=204in^2 w=204in^2/17

    To find the answer, you just perform the operation.

    204/17=12

    The width is 12 inches.
