Answer:
The width is approx \(3\frac{1}{4}\) yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangular rug is 14 1/12 = \(\frac{169}{12}\) square yards
In decimal it is 14.0833 square yards.
The length of the rug is 4 1/3 = \(\frac{13}{3}\) yards
In decimal it is 4.333 yards.
Let the width be = x
Area = length x width
So, \(14.0833=4.333x\)
x = \(14.0833/4.333\)
= 3.25 or approx \(3\frac{1}{4}\) yards
Hence, the width is approx \(3\frac{1}{4}\) yards.
