To find the width of the prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: volume = length * width * height. Given that the volume is 60 cubic centimeters, the length is 5 centimeters, and the height is 4 centimeters, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width.

width = volume / (length * height)
width = 60 / (5 * 4)
width = 60 / 20
width = 3 centimeters

Therefore, the width of the prism is 3 centimeters.
