L= length= 1 1/2 yards
A= area= 3 1/2 yards^2
w= width

Area= length * width
plug in numbers you know
3 1/2= (1 1/2)(w)
convert to improper fractions
(3*2+1)/2= ((1*2+1)/2)(w)
7/2= 3/2w
divide both sides by 3/2
7/2 ÷ 3/2= w
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/2
7/2 * 2/3= w
(7*2)/(2*3)= w
14/6= w
reduce by 2
7/3= width as improper fraction
OR
2 1/3= width as mixed fraction

ANSWER: The width should be 2 1/3 yards wide (or 7/3 yards wide).

Hope this helps! :)

The difference between x and 5, divided by 6
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The correct way to interpret the difference of a number divided by 6 and 5 equals 8 is

n/6 - 5 = 8. I believe that another tutor has misled you; there should be only one division, applying to n only.

I’m really stuck on this. Would someone please help?
zavuch27 [327]

Since MN forms a 180 degree angle, if you subtract 148.7 from 180, you get 31.3 degrees. This means angles L and N are both 31.3 degrees. Since the parallelogram is 360 degrees total, you subtract 62.6 to account for angles L and N. The remaining degrees unaccounted for are 297.4 degrees which you then divide by two to get the value of angles O and M, which would give you 148.7 degrees for each O and M. This means that angle x is 148.7 degrees
