To find the width \( w \) of the cabinet using the volume formula \( V = lwh \), we will rearrange the formula to highlight \( w \).
Starting with the volume formula:
\[
V = lwh
\]
We need to solve for \( w \). To do this, divide both sides by \( lh \):
\[
w = \frac{V}{lh}
\]
Now, substituting the known values of length and height:
- \( V = 60 , \text{ft}^3 \)
- \( l = 4 , \text{ft} \)
- \( h = 5 , \text{ft} \)
The rearranged formula to calculate \( w \) in terms of \( V \), \( l \), and \( h \) is:
\[
w = \frac{V}{lh} = \frac{60}{4 \cdot 5}
\]
Thus, the final answer, in the requested format, is:
\[
w = \frac{60}{20}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
w = 3 , \text{ft}
\]
In the format specified, it would be written as:
\[
w = \frac{V}{lh}
\]
with:
- \( V = 60 \)
- \( lh = 20 \)
So the final answer is:
\[
w = \frac{60}{20}
\]
