The word usage in last sentence of the question is not well presented. However, I can understand that you intend to solve for the width of the park

Answer:


Width = 2\ km

Explanation:

Given


Length = (3)/(8)km


Area = (3)/(4)km^2

Required

Determine the Width

For a rectangle:


Area = Length * Width

Substitute for Area and Length


(3)/(4) = (3)/(8) * Width

Multiply both sides by
(8)/(3)


(8)/(3) * (3)/(4) = (3)/(8) * (8)/(3)* Width


(8)/(3) * (3)/(4) = Width


(24)/(12) = Width


2 = Width


Width = 2\ km
