Question

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.
1. 8 1/8 square feet
2. 6 3/4 square feet
3. 13 1/2 square feet
4. 10 1/8 square feet

Answer 1

To find the area of the table, we simply multiply the length by the width.

Length = 4 1/2 feet = 9/2 feet
Width = 2 1/4 feet = 9/4 feet

Area = (9/2) * (9/4) = 81/8 = 10 1/8 square feet

Therefore, the correct answer is 4. 10 1/8 square feet.
