OPTIONS: 902.72, 36.4, Subtracting, Dividing, 24.8. Multiplying, Adding, and 61.2

1 answer

Let's fill in the blanks step by step.

  1. Write the equation and substitute 36.4 for l and 24.8 for w.

    So, the equation becomes: \( A = l \times w \) \( A = 36.4 \times 24.8 \)

  2. Now, simplify the equation by multiplying 24.8 and 36.4.

  3. The area of the sandbox is 902.72 in³.

Putting it all together: A = l × w
Write the equation and substitute 36.4 for l and 24.8 for w.
Now, simplify the equation by multiplying 24.8 and 36.4.
The area of the sandbox is 902.72 in³.
