Example
<p>And with that the actress explained to the bishop, through a series of hand gestures, that she was in fact mute and could not possibly have said what she was reported to have done.</p> <hr color="red" size="10" width="50%" /> <div id="footer">© All content copyright 2007. Even the unfunny stuff.</div>
The image below shows a horizontal rule set at 50% - the red border is added only to show scale.
Description

attribute affects the hr element’s width in pixels (or
percentage, if % symbol included); if no width is specified, the
hr will take up 100% of its containing element.

A number wrapped in quotes (which is understood and rendered as pixels on screen no need to specify unit of measurement, as per example above) or percentage figure.
