The width of a picnic table is 3 times its length. If the length is 5/6 yards Long, what is the area in square feet?
The width is 3 times the length ? Strange table
a = (5/6)(3*5/6) = 25/12 yd^2
= 25/12 * 9 = 75/4 ft^2
math sucks
The answer to this question is 73/4. get all your answers correct here and go follow me on tiktok username is awsomepossem. i have puppy's as my pfp

To find the area of the picnic table, we first need to calculate the length and width of the table.
Given that the length is 5/6 yards long, let's calculate the width.
We know that the width is 3 times the length, so:
Width = 3 * Length
Width = 3 * (5/6)
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number:
Width = (3 * 5) / 6
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
Width = 15/6
To calculate the area, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width
Area = (5/6) * (15/6)
To multiply two fractions, we multiply their numerators together and their denominators together:
Area = (5 * 15) / (6 * 6)
Area = 75 / 36
Now let's simplify the fraction:
Area = 25/12
Since the area is in square units, we need to convert from yards to feet. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so:
Area (in square feet) = Area (in square yards) * Conversion Factor
Area (in square feet) = (25/12) * (3 * 3)
Area (in square feet) = (25/12) * 9
Area (in square feet) = 225/12
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
Area (in square feet) = 18.75 square feet
Therefore, the area of the picnic table is 18.75 square feet.
