Solution:-
Given : Area of the table = 46 7/8 sq feet or 375/8 sq feet
Length of the table = 7 1/2 feet = 15/2 feet
So,
Width of the table = Area of the table/Length of the table
= 375/8 ÷ 15/2
= 375/8 × 2/15
Width of the table = 25/4 feet or 6 1/4 feet
Juanita should not purchase the table because its width is more than 6 feet and she does not want to purchase a table that is greater than 6 feet wide.
