Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.
First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.
"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"
To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.
Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".
So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.
To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.
So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.
Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.
So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x
To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x
We are now left with:
x = 3.75
Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.
I hope this helps!

Use cosine rule. In this case, I am using SOH and the right triangle:
sin 60°= a ÷ 6 root 3
(6 root 3)(sin 60°)= a
a=9

Answer: $19.55
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2.75 * 5 = 13.75.
- 2.90 * 2 = 5.80
- 13.75 + 5.80 = 19.55
Sam divided a rectangle into 8 congruent rectangles that each have a area of 5 cm2. what is the area of the rectangle before it is divided?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Sam divided a rectangle into 8 congruent rectangles that each have an area of 
We need to find the area of the rectangle before Sam divided it.
The area of the rectangle before Sam divided is 8 times of the area of the congruent rectangles.
Area of the rectangle = 
Area of the congruent rectangle is
So the area of the rectangle is
Area of the rectangle = 
Area of the rectangle = 
Therefore the area of the rectangle before divided is
