The problem is asking to write an equation that makes it easy to find the width \( w \) of a rectangle when the area \( A \) and the length \( l \) are known.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[
A = l \times w
\]
You are given that the length \( l \) is 5, so the equation becomes:
\[
A = 5 \times w
\]
To solve for \( w \), divide both sides of the equation by 5:
\[
w = \frac{A}{5}
\]

This is the equation that allows you to find the width \( w \) when the area \( A \) is known.

Do you have any questions or would you like further details?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
1. What is the width of the rectangle if the area is 20 square units?
2. How does the width change if the area doubles?
3. If the length were changed to 10 instead of 5, how would the equation change?
4. What would the formula look like if both the area and width were known, but you wanted to find the length?
5. How do you calculate the perimeter of a rectangle if the area and length are known?

**Tip**: Always isolate the variable you need to solve for by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation.

Write an equation that makes it easy to find the width of the rectangle if we know the area and the length. The length of the rectangle is 5.
