Answer:

4 meters

Explanation:

Let's assume this is a rectangular garden.

The area of a rectangle can be found using:

a=l*w

We know the area is 28 square meters and the length is 7 meters. We can substitute 28 in for a, and 7 in for l.

28=7*w

Now we need to solve for w. To solve, we have to get w by itself. 7 and w are being multiplied. To reverse this, divide both sides by 7.

28/7=7*w/7

28/7=w

4=w

The width is 4 meters
