he table you are setting up is an adjjustable legnth square table. You have 12 poeple, and your mom says that each person needs 2 3/4 feet of space



To figure out the total length of the table, we need to multiply the number of people by the space each person needs.

1. You have **12 people**.
2. Each person needs **2 3/4 feet** of space, which is equivalent to **\( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) feet** or **2.75 feet** in decimal form.

Now, let's calculate the total length:

\[
\text{Total Length} = 12 \times 2.75 = 33 \text{ feet}
\]

Therefore, the total length of the table should be **33 feet**.

### Would you like more details on the calculation, or do you have any further questions?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What if the number of people increased to 16—how long would the table need to be?
2. How would you adjust the table length if each person only needed 2 feet of space?
3. Can you calculate the perimeter of the square table given this total length?
4. If the table were rectangular, how would the dimensions change to maintain the same total area?
5. How would the calculation change if each person required 3 feet of space instead?

**Tip:** Always convert mixed numbers into decimals to make multiplication easier when calculating space or length!

The table you are setting up is an adjustable length square table. You have 12 people, and your mom says that each person needs 2 3/4 feet of space.
