Question

Andrew is using tiles to decorate a rectangular table that is 4/5 meter long and 2/3 meter wide. What is the area of Andrews table in square meters

Answer 1

Given:

Length of rectangular table = $\dfrac{4}{5}$ meter

Width of rectangular table = $\dfrac{2}{3}$ meter

To find:

The area of the table.

Solution:

Area of a rectangle is:

$A=l\times w$

Where, l is the length and w is the width.

Substitute $l=\dfrac{4}{5}$ and $w=\dfrac{2}{3}$ in the above formula to find the area of the rectangular table.

$A=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{2}{3}$

$A=\dfrac{8}{15}$

Therefore, the area oft he table is $\dfrac{8}{15}$ square meters.
