Write and solve an equation to determine the width w of the flag
The length of an American flat is
The width of the flag is feet.
Given that the length of an American flag is 1.9 times its width, then the expression for the length is 1.9w. So, the equation is:
Solve for ww by dividing both sides by 1.9:
So, the width of the flag is 5 feet.
