To find the total number of butterflies we add 9 and 7, which equals 16 butterflies in all. Then we take the queen butterfly part of the ratio, which is 7 and compare it with the total number of butterflies to get the ratio 7:16.
Forgive me if this is wrong. I haven't done stat in a year, but comment if you need clarification!
So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>
</span>
