LibreOffice Writer: How to ensure all tables have the same width?

I have an RTF file with 3 tables. The upprmost table and lowermost table were created with Microsoft Word some time ago but when I've added a new table between the two I saw it is discrepant with the other two around it.
I've painted red boxes to visualize the discrepancy I mean to:
My question:
I only aim that all 3 tables will have the exact same width.
How could I set all tables to have the exact same width without the discrepancy I just described?
I ask this because I didn't find a way as available in Microsoft Word: "Set table width to maximal in relation to margin length".
Update - file to test
Here is a file with two tables (link omitted). The first table is the one originated in Microsoft Word (2016), and the second one originated in LO Writer.

Under Table -> Properties there is a Width setting. Change all three tables to use the same value.
You could also make adjustments under the Column tab.
EDIT:
With the example file, under Table -> Properties for the first table, change Width to 6 " and Spacing / Left to 0.00 ".

Sadly changing either of these (table-width/column-width/remaining space, etc) as the same, doesn't help. I even tried to clear formatting but still there's the same discrepancy.

What I did in the end was to create 3 empty tables with their LibreOffice defaults and migrate all data to there. The original problem I encountered seems like a bug.

Your approach sounds like a good one. Start with a clean slate rather than trying to fix the original tables.

I hope you are not sarcastic. I would generally try to fix a problem and not start from scratch. In this case I tried to fix them myself, consult here, and re-fix them, but nothing helped. I reviewed and got to the conclusion it's a bug or a serious User Interface problem which I have no spare time to deal with so I'll just comment here that given the circumstances I started from scratch.
