A rectangular tabletop has an area of 1512 square inches. The length of the tabletop is 18 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the table top
To find the width of the table top, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = length x width
Given that the area is 1512 square inches and the length is 18 inches, you can plug these values into the equation:
1512 = 18 x width
Next, divide both sides by 18 to solve for the width:
Width = 1512 / 18
Width = 84
Therefore, the width of the tabletop is 84 inches.
