Julia is a measuring a table for her room. the area of the tables 46 7/8 square feet. the length of the table is 7 1/2 feet. julia does not want to purchase a table that is greater than 6 feet wide. should she purchase the table? why or why not

In this question, you have given the table length (7. 1/2 feet) and the table maximal area (46 7/8 square feet).  The question is about whether Julia buys a table greater than 6ft wide, in other words, we need to determine the table maximum width. The equation from this problem can be written as:
Table max area = 46 7/8 ft
Table length= 7 1/2 ft

Using area formula, the calculation for maximal width would be:
length * max width = max area
7 1/2 ft * max width = 46 7/8 ft
max width = 46.875/ 7.5 = 6.25ft

The answer to this question would be yes, she can buy a table with more than 6 ft width. But it should not more than 6.25ft width
