This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:


Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then


Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

Answer:
3:30PM
Step-by-step explanation:
Martina starting playing video games as soon as she got home from school. She played video games for 15 minutes. Then Martina helped clean the kitchen for 45 minutes. After the kitchen was clean, it took Martina 15 minutes to finish her homework. When Martina finished her homework, it was 4:45 P.M. What time did Martina get home from school?
Step 1
We add up the minutes it took her to do things
= Minutes for video games + Minutes for cleaning the kitchen + Minutes for doing homework
= 15 minutes + 45 minutes + 15 minutes
= 75 minutes
= 1 hour 15 minutes
Step 2
When Martina finished her homework, it was 4:45 P.M. What time did Martina get home from school?
This is calculated be subtracting 1 hour 15 minutes from 4:45 PM
= 4:45 PM - 1 : 15
= 3:30PM
Therefore, Martha got home from school by 3:30 PM
