1 answer

To find the area of the table, you need to multiply the length and the width.

First, convert the length and width to improper fractions.

The length is 4 1/2 = (4 x 2 + 1)/2 = 9/2 feet.
The width is 2 1/4 = (2 x 4 + 1)/4 = 9/4 feet.

Next, multiply the length and width to find the area.

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

Therefore, the area of the table is 10 1/8 square feet.
