A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.

The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.

This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).

Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.

91w=546

91w/91= 546/91

w= 6

the width is 6cm

Solve for w p=1.2w/h^2

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Solve for w:
p = (1.2 w)/h^2
(1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2):
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2)
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p:
(6 w)/(5 h^2) = p
Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6:
Answer: w = (5 h^2 p)/6
