Answer:

Part A:  Width is 1/4 yard

Part C:  Each section:  L = 1/9 yard, W = 1/8 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The area is given as 1/12 yard² and the length is given as 1/3 yard.  The area of a rectangle is A = LW, plug in the given values and solve...

1/12 = (1/3)W

    3/12 = W   (multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction on the right)

      1/4 yard = W  (reduce the fraction on the left)

Part C:  The width is 1/4, and there are 2 squares along the width, so each section is

1/4 ÷ 2 = (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 yards wide

The length is 1/3 and there are 3 sections along the length, so each section is

1/3 ÷ 3 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9 yards long
