The width of the piece of construction paper is 6.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the paper = $65\frac{1}{4} = 65.25$ sq inches

The length of the paper = $9\frac{2}{3} = 9.66$ in

Let the width of the paper = w inches

Now, AREA OF THE PAPER = LENGTH x WIDTH

or, 65.25 sq. inches = 9. 66 in x w in

⇒ 65.25 = 9.66 x w

or, $w = \frac{65.25}{9.66} \implies w = 6.75$

or, w = 6. 75 inches

Hence, the width of the piece of construction paper is 6.75 inches.
