Answer:

18 inches wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of width to length is 3:7 we can assume that the length will be substancially longer than the width. The length is given as 42 inches long. To find how big the scale factor is, we divide 42 by 7 to get 6. 6 is our scale factor. take 3 x 6 =18 inches wide.

Hope this helps! :)

She uses 11/36 yards of string for each.

In this problem, you're dividing the amount of string by the number of banners, so 11/12 ÷ 3. To do this though, it's easiest to convert the 3 into a fraction. After you do this, you're left with:

11/12 ÷ 3/1

When dividing fractions, you flip the second fraction upside down and change the operation to its opposite, which gives you:

11/12 × 1/3

Then you just multiply across. 11×1=11 and 12×3=36, so you're left with 11/36 yards of string.
