    Area=legnth times width

    area=5 and 5/8

    legnth=1 and 1/2

    convert all to imporopoer fractions

    5 and 5/8=5+5/8=40/8+5/8=45/8

    1 and 1/2=1+1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2

    area=45/8

    legnth=3/2

    area=legnth times width

    45/8=3/2 times width

    multiply both sides by 2/3 to clear fraction (3/2 times 2/3=6/6=1 and 1 times width=width so)

    90/24=width

    simplify

    15/4=width

    15/4=12/4+3/4=3+3/4=3 and 3/4

    width=3 and 3/4 yards
