A rectangular tabletop has an area of 1,512 square inches. The length of the tabletop is 18 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the tabletop.

Answer 1

To find the width of the tabletop, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

Given that the area is 1,512 square inches and the length is 18 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

1,512 = 18w

Now, solve for w (width):

w = 1,512 / 18
w = 84

Therefore, the width of the tabletop is 84 inches.
