The current area of Mr. Milstein's kitchen table is:
[tex]=17\frac{1}{2}\text{ square fe}e\text{t}[/tex]
The new width of Mr. Milstein's kitchen table = 5 feet
The area of the new kitchen table if the length is l is given by
[tex]\text{ Area (A) = length x width = 5l}[/tex]
Note that the area of the proposed kitchen table should be larger than the current one.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ The current area = }17\frac{1}{2}\text{ square fe}e\text{t} \\ \text{ The new area = 5 x l = 5l} \\ \text{ Therefore,} \\ \text{ proposed area > new area} \\ \text{ 5l >}17\frac{1}{2}\text{ square fe}e\text{t} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\text{ 5l >}17\frac{1}{2}\text{ square fe}e\text{t can be used to get the length of the new table}[/tex]
The correct option is F
