A. 13 = 91w
B. w = 91(13)
C. w = 13/91
D. 91 = 13w
A. 13 = 91w
B. w = 91(13)
C. w = 13/91
D. 91 = 13w

To find the width of the garden, we know the area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, the area \( A \) is 91 ft², and the length is 13 ft. We can use this information to set up the equation:
\[
91 = 13 \times w
\]
This can be rearranged to express the relationship in terms of the width \( w \). Therefore, the correct equation to model finding the width of the garden is:
\[
\text{D. } 91 = 13w
\]
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, the area \( A \) is 91 ft², and the length is 13 ft. We can use this information to set up the equation:
