Answer:

W = 11/8 or 1 3/8

Explanation:

The width of a vegetable garden is 1/4 times its length. If the length of the garden is 5 1/2 feet, what is the width in simplest form?

W=(1/4)(L)

width is 1/4 length

if the length is 5 1/2 ft

5 1/2 is equivalent to 11/2

W= (1/4)(11/2)

Multiply across.

W = 11/8 or 1 3/8
