Question

A rectangle or table top has a length of 4 3/4 feet in an area of 11 7/8 ft.² what is the width of the table top

Answer 1

If the length of the tabletop is 4 3/4 and the area is 11 7/8, then the width of the table top is 2 1/2.

To come up with this, you simply use the formula w=a/l to find the width.
w=11 7/8 / 4 3/4=2 1/2.
