To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- <span>The length of a rectangle is 7 1/2 inches and its width is 4 3/4 inches
2. Therefore, the ratio is:
7 1/2 inches=7.5 inches=15/2=30/4
4 3/4 inches= 4.75 inches=19/4
length:width
30:19

Ratio is a division in its simplest form.
To get the ratio of length to width, divide the two then simplify.
In this case, convert the length and width into decimals.
length = 7 1/2 = 7.5
width 4 3/4 = 4.75
ratio of length to width is;
7.5/4.75 = 750/475
This can now be written as;
750 : 475
Dividing both sides by 25;
= 750/25: 475/25
= 30 : 19
