The part of the courtyard that will be covered in stone has an area of 246 square feet.

The area of the fountain will be

Area of fountain = area of the rectangle - 246

Area of fountain = 12 x 22 - 246

Area of fountain = 264 - 246

Area of fountain = 18 square feet

Then the width of the fountain will be

A = W x L

18 = W x 6

W = 18/6

W = 3 feet
