Answer 1

Answer:

Length of a rectangle whose width is 4 inches is

6 inches

Explanation:

Ratio of length  to its width is 3 to 2

Let length  = L

Let Width  = B

L: B = 3 : 2 (given)

$\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}$

Width ,B = 4

Insert  B in above equation

$\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{L}{4} =\frac{3}{2}$

cross multiply,

$L = \frac{3}{2}\times4$

L = 6 inches

Conversion(if required) ,

1 inch = 2.54 cm

6 inch = 2.54 (6)

L = 15.24 cm
