Question

the length of a rectangle is 61/2 inches and the width is 33/4,. what is the ratio, using whole numbers of the length to the width

Answer 1

61/2 inches = 30.5 inches

33/4 inches = 8.25 inches

----------------

$8.25\times n=30.5\\ \\ \therefore \quad n=\frac { 30.5 }{ 8.25 } =\frac { 122 }{ 33 }$

----------------

Ratio:

122/33 : 1

= 122/33 x 33 : 1 x 33

= 122:33
