Answer:
<em>Answer: 1/4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Algebraic Operations</u>
The width of a rectangle is given as W=5x+3 and the length of the rectangle is given as L=20x+12.
It's required to determine the ratio of the width to the length, that is:
This fraction can be simplified if we factor the expression in the denominator. The LCF of 20x and 12 is 4, thus:
Now note we have the exact same expression up and down, thus simplifying:
