A table has a length of
4 1/2 2 1/4 feet and width of feet. Find the area of the table in square feet.
We need to simplify the length of the table to a single fraction.
4 1/2 = 9/2
2 1/4 = 9/4
So the length of the table is 9/2 feet and the width is unknown.
To find the area, we multiply length by width:
Area = (9/2) x (width) = 9/2(width)
Since we don't know the width, we can't simplify this further. So the area of the table is:
Area = 9/2(width) square feet.
