Gabby's dad drives a dump truck for a construction company. Last week, he came to Gabby's class for Career Day and talked about how math is used in his job. As an example, he told the class the bed of his truck is shaped like a rectangular prism with a volume of 24 cubic meters. The bed is 4 meters long and 2 meters deep.

How wide is the bed of the truck?


PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
