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!

Answer:
points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.
Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...
-1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75

Hi sky how u doing? Me and grant already solved our problems. I need to talk to you :) PLZ RESPOND FAST!!
Answer:
New bed dimension of bed 0.5 ft, 0.25 ft
New bed dimension of room 1.16 ft, 1.33 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
bed dimension is given as 6 ft by 3 ft
room dimension is given as 14 ft 16 ft
according to the given information , new dimension of the room and bed will be 1/12 times of actual dimension. therefore we have
New bed dimension of bed 
= 0.5 ft, 0.25 ft
New bed dimension of room 
= 1.16 ft, 1.33 ft
