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.
