An illustration shows a rectangle. The center is labeled A equals three fourths of a square yard. The width measures one half yard.

Question

Solve the equation 34=12l to find the length of the tabletop.

112 yd.
1 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction yd.

14 yd.
Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction yd.

38 yd.
Start Fraction 3 over 8 End Fraction yd.

114 yd.

Answer 1

To find the length of the tabletop, we need to solve the equation 34 = 12l for l.

First, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:
34/12 = 12l/12
2.83 = l

Therefore, the length of the tabletop is approximately 2.83 yards.
