Alison is growing basil in a rectangular section of her garden. this section is 5/6 yards long and has an area of 1/6 square yard. what is the width of the section? a. 1/5 yard b. 5/18 yard c. 1/2 yard d. 2 1/2 yard

Since the section is 5/6 yards long and you do not know the width, we can set the width as the variable x
Therefore: 
Area = length × width
Area = 1/6 
5/6(x) = 1/6 
multiply the reciprocal of 5/6 (6/5) on both sides 
x = 1/6(6/5) 
x = 1/5 
A. 1/5 Yard 

The answer is definitely A
