When we multiply a whole number with a fraction, we can think of the whole numbers as "over one"...
5 3 5 15
3 * --- = --- * ---- = ----
6 1 6 6
We can further simplify the fraction, by dividing numerator and denominator by 3...
15 15 / 3 5
--- = ------- = ----
6 6 / 3 2
Since this is an improper fraction, we need to turn it into a mixed number...
5 2 + 2 + 1 2 2 1 1 1
---- = -------------- = --- + ---- + --- = 1 + 1 + ---- = 2 --- or 2.5
2 2 2 2 2 2 2

I'm pretty sure the answer is independent because the sex of her other children has nothing to do with the sex of her new baby. I may be wrong though.<span />
Answer: 2 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width of the cement path.
Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters
Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters
Along width cement path, the length of region = 
width = 
Area of road with pool = 

Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)
![\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=-14\ or \ w=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%20%3D4w%5E2%2B48w%2B135-%20135%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20112%3D%204w%5E2%2B48w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%204%20w%5E2%2B48w-112%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B12w-28%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BDivide%20both%20sides%20by%204%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%5E2%2B14w-2w-28%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20w%28w%2B14%29-2%28w%2B14%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%28w%2B14%29%28w-2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20%20w%3D-14%5C%20or%20%5C%20w%3D2)
width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters
Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.
