Dining Room Table 1 inch 4- inches 2 inches 7 inches Enter numbers in the boxes to correctly complete the sentences. The area of the dining room table is square feet. The area of the dining room is square feet. The area of the dining room not covered by the table is square feet

Answer 1

1) Gathering data

In a scale

1 inch ---- 2.5 feet

2) The area of the dining room table

We can convert them right away since it's given.

2 inches x 1 inch

5 feet x 2.5

12.5 ft²

2.2)The area of the dining room

7 1/5 inches x 4 4/5 inches Turning into improper fractions

36/5 inches x 24/5 inches

To convert those customary units, let's set a proportion:

1 inch-----------5/2 feet

36/5------------ x

x =18 feet

1 inch-----------5/2 feet

24/5 -----------y

y=12 feet

So the area of the dining room, as it is a rectangle let's calculate its area : 12 x 18 = 216 ft²
