Question

The length of a rectangle is 71/2 inches and the width is 23/4 inches. What is the ratio, using whole numbers, of the length to the width

Answer 1

Answer:

142:23

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is given as 71/2 while its width is 23/4

We are required to determine the ratio of the length to the width;

length:width

(71/2):(23/4)

(71/2)/(23/4)

71/2 * 4/23 = 142/23

The ratio of the length to the width is thus;

142:23
