The width of a picnic table is 3 times its length. If the length is 5

6
-yd long, what is the area of the picnic table in square feet?
sides are 2 1/2 yd and 5/6 yard.
then to find area 2 1/2 x 5/6 = 2 5/12 y2
how do I find square feet?

18 3/4

To convert the area from square yards to square feet, you'll need to use the conversion factor: 1 square yard = 9 square feet.

1. Start with the area in square yards: 2 5/12 yd^2.
2. Multiply this by the conversion factor to convert to square feet: (2 5/12 yd^2) * (9 sq ft / 1 sq yd).
3. Simplify the expression: (2 5/12) * (9) sq ft.
4. Perform the multiplication: (2 * 12 + 5) * (9) sq ft.
5. Calculate: (24 + 5) * (9) sq ft.
6. Simplify: 29 * 9 sq ft.
7. Calculate: 261 sq ft.

Therefore, the area of the picnic table is 261 square feet.

L = 5/6 yds. = 2 1/2 Ft.

W = 3*2 1/2 = 15/2 = 7 1/2 Ft.

Area = L*W = 2 1/2 * 7 1/2 = 5/2 * 15/2 = 75/4 = 18 3/4 square Ft.

Or Area = L*W = 5/6 * 2 1/2 =[ 5/6 * 5/2 = 25/12 = 2 1/12 sq. yds.

1yd = 3ft, 1sq yd. = 3^2 = 9 sq. Ft.

A = 2 1/12sq yds * 9sq ft/sq yd = 25/12 * 9 = 225/12 = 18 3/4 sq ft.
