The area of the garden is A = 6/7.

The length of the garden is l = 3/5.

The formula for the area of the rectangle is,


A=l* w

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the width of the garden.


\begin{gathered} (6)/(7)=(3)/(5)* w \\ w=(6)/(7)*(5)/(3) \\ =(30)/(21) \\ =(10)/(7) \end{gathered}

So answer is 10/7.
