Answer:

width= 2

Explanation:

18 inches is the original height and we are now reducing that to 3 inches.

In order to do that, we have to divide 18 by 3 which equals 6.

Next, take the width of the rectangle, which is twelve and divide it by the scale factor of 6 which equals 2.

Your final answers should be: width= 2
