Answer:

w = 400

Explanation:

2400 = lw

Divide the area by two.

2400 / 2 = 1200

Now this cannot be the answer since the length is longer than the width.

Divide 1200 by two again.

1200 = 600

Notice there are two choices that are the closest:

w = 800

w = 400

The latter choice would be the answer since again, the length is longer than width in terms of measurement
