Answer: The required width of the given shower block is 6 m.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m² and the length of the shower block is 24 m.

We are to find the width of the shower block.

We know that

a shower block is of rectangular shape and the area of a rectangle is the product of its length ad width.

Let w meters be the width of the given shower block.

Then, according to the give information, we have

$Area=24* w\\\\\Rightarrow 144=24w\\\\\Rightarrow w=(144)/(24)\\\\\Rightarrow w=6~\textup{m}.$

Thus, the required width of the given shower block is 6 m.
