    The width of the tank is 12.5 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to find the width, not height of the rainwater tank, since the height is already given.

    The volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

    V = L * W * H

    where L = length of the tank

    W = width of tank

    H = height of tank

    We have its volume as 375 cubic feet and the length, L, as 15 feet and height, H, as 2 feet.

    Therefore, its width is:

    375 = 15 * W * 2

    375 = 30W

    => W = 375 / 30

    W = 12.5 feet

    The width of the tank is 12.5 feet.
