Let x be the width of the stamp.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = length x width.
Given that the height is 112 inches and the area must be no greater than 118 in^2, we have:
112x ≤ 118
Dividing both sides by 112:
x ≤ 118/112
x ≤ 1.0536
Therefore, the solution to the inequality that describes the possible width of the stamp is x ≤ 1.0536 inches.
