<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>Answer: 10 1/2 feet</h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the room is a rectangle, to find the area you simply multiply the length and width together.

L x W = A

As in the question stated you have the area and length:

12.5 x W = 131

To find the width you can simply divide the area by the length:

131 ÷ 12.5 = 10.48 ≅ 10.5 = 10 $\frac{1}{2}$

<h3>So the width is 10 $\frac{1}{2}$ feet</h3>
