The answer is 18 inches.

432 / 24 = 18

area / length = width

Answer: Width of the tray would be 18 inches.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of tray = 432 sq. inches

Length of tray = 24 inches

As we know the formula for "Area of rectangle":


Area=Length* Breadth\\\\432=24* width\\\\(432)/(24)=Width\\\\Width=18\ inches

Hence, width of the tray would be 18 inches.
