A rectangular table top measures 7 / 9 of a meter long by 2 / 9 of a meter wide. What is the area
area = (7/9)(2/9) = 14/81 m^2
(never heard of anybody measuring metres in ninths,
that would defeat the purpose of using then nicety of the metric system)
To find the area of a rectangular table top, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length of the table top is 7/9 of a meter and the width is 2/9 of a meter.
To calculate the area, you need to multiply the length and the width.
Area = Length x Width
Area = (7/9) meter x (2/9) meter
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom).
Area = (7 x 2) / (9 x 9) meter²
Area = 14 / 81 meter²
Therefore, the area of the rectangular table top is 14/81 square meters.
