Area for a rectangle is width times length.
A=W*L
Define the variables.
A= 1/2 yards^2
L= 2/3 yards
W=?
Then isolate the variable Width (w).
W = A/L
Plug in your known values.
Width = 1/2 yards^2/(2/3 yards)
If you're uncomfortable using fractions within fractions, you can manipulate the equation into a fraction times fraction by switching the numerator and denominator of one of the bottom fraction (in this case 2/3 yards).
Width=(1/2)*(3/2) = .75 yards
So the answer is 0.75 yards.
