Answer: 14 inches

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a rectangle has a width of 2 inches and a length of 3 inches and has been scaled by a factor of 7.

This simply means that we've to multiply the width of the rectangle by 7 and also multiply the length of the rectangle by 7.

Old width = 2 inches

New width= 2 inches × 7 = 14 inches

The new width of the rectangle is 14 inches
