Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.

(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)

For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5


(3/4) • (8/5) = area

Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)

The area of piece A is 24/20

If you do the same for piece B:

(2/5) • (21/8) = area

The answer is 42/40
