Question

The width of a picnic table is 3 times its length. If the length is 5/6 yd long, what is the area of the picnic table in square feet?

Answer 1

6 1/4 sq ft

Explanation:

x = length = 5/6

y = width = 3x

so y = 3(5/6) or 15/6

A = length · width

A = 5/6 · 15.6 or 25/12 which is 6 1/4

Answer 2

Explanation:

Breadth

=5/6

Length

=15/6

Area of rectangle = l x b

=5/6 x 15/6

=75/6
