Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. The area A, in square inches, of a rectangle is the product of its length l, in inches, and its width w, in inches; thus, A=lw. It's given that the area of a rectangle is 630 square inches and the length of the rectangle is 70 inches. Substituting 630 for A and 70 for l in the equation A=lw yields 630=70w. Dividing both sides of this equation by 70 yields 9=w. Therefore, the width, in inches, of this rectangle is 9.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the length, not the width, in inches, of the rectangle.

Choice C is incorrect. This is half the area, in square inches, not the width, in inches, of the rectangle.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the difference between the area, in square inches, and the length, in inches, of the rectangle, not the width, in inches, of the rectangle.
