There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.
Area of the rectangular rug = 35/4 square meters
Length of the rug = 7/2 meters
Let us assume the width of the rug = x meters
Then
Area of the rug = Length * width
35/4 = (7/2) * x meters
x = (35/4) * (2/7) meters
= 5/2 meters
So the width of the rectangular rug is 5/2 meters.
