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

1 answer

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.
