The equation for the table is y=2x+3. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,8)(10,-7)
d = sqrt (10 - (-5)^2 + (-7 - 8)^2
d = sqrt (10 + 5)^2 + (- 15^2)
d = sqrt (15^2) + (-15^2)
d = sqrt 225 + 225
d = sqrt 450
d = 21.21
        
             
        
        
        
Of means multiplication. So the question is 1/3 X 1 1/2. First make 1 1/2 improper: 3/2. Then multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominaters (bottom numbers): 1x3=3, 3x2=6, =3/6. Now simplify 3/6=1/2. Then multiply that by 2, since he used 2 pieces: 1/2x2=1. John used 1 meter :)
