Just to expand a little:
You can enter a number for width, and Ctrl-Enter will resize proportionally;
You can enter basic math operators (like 1/8 for example) and Illustrator will convert it to decimals;
You can enter a number in a different unit than the one used in the document, and Illustrator will convert to the proper unit (i.e. enter "2 in" for 2 inches when the units are set to pixels, and Illustrator will convert the number to 144 pixels).
