Answer:

The answer is 6 1/5 feet in width.

Explanation:

Since the formula for area is wl or width x length, we can utilize our reversive property to find our width by dividing the Area we are given by our length, giving us the missing width in return. Dividing 46.5 square feet by 7.5 feet gives us 6.2 feet, or 6 1/5 feet.

Best of luck with whatever this is for!~
