A table has a length of 4 1/2 feet and width of 2 1/4 feet. Find the area of the table in square feet.
(these are fractions)
To find the area of the table, multiply the length by the width:
Area = length x width
Length = 4 1/2 feet = 9/2 feet
Width = 2 1/4 feet = 4/2 feet
Area = (9/2) x (4/2)
Area = (9 x 4) / (2 x 2)
Area = 36 / 4
Area = 9 square feet
Therefore, the area of the table is 9 square feet.
