Answer:

The width of the drawer is
15\ in

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the drawer is equal to


V=LWH

we have


L=15\ in


H=5\ in -----> the deep of the drawer


V=1,125\ in^(3)

substitute the given values in the formula and solve for W


1,125=(15)(W)(5)


1,125=(75)(W)


W=1,125/(75)


W=15\ in
