Answer 2

End table: 30 in x 42 in = 30/24 x 42/24 = 5/4 x 7/4
Recliner: 36 in x 40 in = 36/24 x 40/24 = 3/2 x 5/3

Answer 3

disagree with
End table: 30 in x 42 in
= 5/4 ft by 7/2 ft
----> 5/8 in by 7/4 in


and
Recliner: 36 in x 40 in
= 3 ft by 10/3 ft
----> 1 1/2 in by 5/3 in

remember what you did for the first two :
you divided your ft by 2 and that became your answer in inches
