Question

Juanita is measuring a table for her dining room. Table area is 46 7/8 square feet. Table length is 7 1/2 feet. She does not want to purchase a table more than 6 feet wide. Should she purchase the table? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No. If you still want the  46 7/8 square foot table and less than 6ft wide than the table length must be greater than 7 1/2 feet long. For the math to work out. Because, the 7 1/2 foot long table would need a 6 1/4 wide table to fit the 46 7/8 square foot.
