a rectangular table measures 3/5 of a meter long by 1/7 of a meter wide. what is the area

A = LW

(3/5) * (1/7) = 3/35 meter

3/35 square meters

A rectangular

To find the area of a rectangular table, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as 3/5 of a meter and the width is given as 1/7 of a meter.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together to get the new numerator, and you multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together to get the new denominator. So, let's multiply 3/5 by 1/7:

(3/5) * (1/7) = (3 * 1) / (5 * 7) = 3/35

The result, 3/35, represents the fraction of the area. To express it as a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:

3 ÷ 35 = 0.0857 (rounded to four decimal places)

So, the area of the rectangular table is approximately 0.0857 square meters.
