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! :)
Let's look at an example:
2.24 x 21.6

Do normal multiplication and get
48384 This is not correct, until we put the decimals in. To know how to do this, count the number of decimal spaces from the factors. In 2.24, there are 2, because .24. In 21.6 there are 1 because of .6. This mean three places, so 48384 becomes
48.384
