A rectangular tabletop has an area of 1,512 square inches. The length of the tabletop is 18 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the tabletop. Show your work.
To find the width of the tabletop, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the length is 18 inches and the area is 1,512 square inches, we can plug these values into the formula:
1,512 = 18 x Width
To solve for the width, we will divide both sides of the equation by 18:
Width = 1,512 / 18
Width = 84
Therefore, the width of the tabletop is 84 inches.
