The width of the deck will be 9 inches when the length of the deck is 12 inches.

In the drawing, the dimensions of the deck is:

Length = 8 inches

Breadth = 6 inches

The deck's dimensions is:

Length = 12 feet

We need to find the width of the deck

For this, we will use the ratio

Let the width of the deck be x

8 : 12 = 6 : x

8 / 12 = 6 / x

Cross multiplying the numbers, we get that:

8 x = 72

x = 72 / 8

x = 9

Therefore, the width of the deck will be 9 inches when the length of the deck is 12 inches.
