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:
80 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle that is partitioned into two rectangles; rectangle A and rectangle B
Rectangle A:
Top = 5 meters
Side = 8 meters
Area of rectangle A = length × width
= 5 meters × 8 meters
= 40 meters ²
Rectangle B:
Top = 5 meters
Side = 8 meters
Area of rectangle B = length × width
= 5 meters × 8 meters
= 40 meters ²
Total area of the partitioned rectangle = area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B
= 40 meters ² + 40 meters ²
= 80 meters ²
Well first find the slope of the point
y=mx+b y=-1x+3
slope = -1
then put the problem in point slope form y - y1 = m (x-x1)
y + 3 = -1 (x+1) then solve for y=mx+b again
so y> 2x + 6 is the answer
Convert gallons to ounces
There 128 ounces in 1 gallon
So you would multiply
(214gal)*(128oz/1gal)=27392 ounces
27392oz / 4 oz = 6848 cups
