The simplified ratio of the width of a seating section to the width of the stairs, using proportions, is of:
120.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and these proportions are built in the context of a problem, involving basic arithmetic operations, especially multiplication and division, to find the desired measures.
One example of application of proportions is for ratio problems, as the ratio between two amounts a and b is given by the division of the amount a by the amount b.
A seating section is composed as follows:
- Each set has a width of 24 feet.
Hence the total width of a seating section is calculated as follows:
30 x 24 = 720 feet.
The width of a stair is:
6 feet.
Hence the ratio of these widths is given as follows:
720/6 = 120.
