Shawna reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 2 inches what is the new width of it if it was originally 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall

If the width was not effected then the width is still 24 inches

if the area stayed the same, then

find area

area=legnth times width

288=12 times 24

so the new height./legnth = 2

288=2 times width

divide by 2

144=width'

the new width = 144
