So we have:
x + x + (x-6) + (x-6) = 188
2x +(x-6) + (x-6)
5x - 12 = 188
5x = 200
x = 40
So the length is 40, the width is 40-6 = 34.
The <u>equation</u>

consists of five <u>terms</u>, three of them contain <u>fractions.</u> The <u>denominators</u> of these fractions are 2, 4 and 6.
Find the LCM(2,4,6). Since
then LCM(2,4,6)=2·2·3=12.
Thus, you have to multiply each term of the equation by 12 to eliminate the fractions.

3 : 1
------------------------------------------------
Find total parts
------------------------------------------------
3 + 1 = 4
------------------------------------------------
Split the 32 according to the parts
------------------------------------------------
4 parts = 32
1 part = 32 ÷ 4
1 part = 8
3 part = 8 x 3 = 24
------------------------------------------------
Split the 32 into the ratio
------------------------------------------------
24 : 8
------------------------------------------------
Answer: 24 : 8
