Jesse needs a carpet of size 47 square feet to cover her room. If her room is 1 feet long What is the width of her room?
1. We know that the area of a rectangle is length times width, so we can set up an equation to solve for width. 
2. We also know that Jesse's room is 47 square feet, and 1 foot long. 

So our equation would be: 

47 = 1w 

To solve for w, we can divide both sides by 1: 

47/1 = w/1 

47 = w 

Therefore, the width of Jesse's room is 47 feet.
