Answer:

The width of the banner is 4 inch and the length of the banner is  28 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length is seven times its width

Let the width be "X", then length would be 7X

The banner is of rectangular shape.

Its area is 112 square inches

[tex]X* 7X = 112\\7X^2 = 112\\X^2 = 16\\X = 4[/tex]

Hence, the width of the banner is 4 inch and the length of the banner is 4*7 i.2 28 inch
