Answer: 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The students on a decorating committee create a banner.

Let x be the width of the banner.

The length of the banner is 20 feet.

The length of the banner is 2.5 times its width.

Then, we have

$2.5x=20$

Divide both the sides by 2.5 , we get

$x=\dfrac{20}{2.5}=8$

Therefore, the width (in feet) of the banner= 8 feet.
