Pretend for a moment that you know the volume of a rectangle is 28cm^3 and you know that the height is 4 and the length is 3.
The formula would read:
You then want to multiply 3 and 4 together (using the multiplicative property) to give you 12 so now it looks like:

To get the width you now have to divide both sides by the coefficient 12:

The 12 cancels out on the left side, and you're left with:

Which equals 2.333
Width = 2.333
