Multiply 6 feet by 12 inches per foot to get 72 inches.

Then multiply 72 by 32 to get 2304 square inches.

First Tian should find out what the length, 6 feet, is in inches. Since one foot is 12 inches, 6 feet is 6 x 12 inches = 72 inches.

So the tablecloth is 72 inches long and 32 inches wide. The area of a rectangle is the length times the width = 72 inches x 32 inches

The answer will come out in square inches.

Area = Length * Width

First you need to get both measurements in the same unit (one is in inches one is in feet)

The table cloth is 6 feet long.

There are 12 inches in a foot.

The table cloth is 72 inches long (6*12)

Area = Length * Width
Area = 72 inches * 32 inches
Area = 2304 inches^2

convert the feet to inches which would be 12 in. x 6 ft. =72 inches. Take that and multiply it by 32 and you get the area which is 2304 inches

First she should convert the feet into inches.
6 feet = 6*12 inches = 72 inches

Then she can multiply the length times the width.
72*32 = 2,304 square inches

convert 6 to 6 times 12 in order to make it into inches. you get 72. you multiply 72 times 32. do the rest from then.

you already have 32 inches, so you need to convert 6 feet into inches (12inches x 6 = 72inches)

Area = 32 x 72

convert the dimension of the table to inches.
6 ft = 72 in

then multiply the length (72in) by the height (32in)

area = length x height

area = 72 x 32

area = 2304 in squared
