You are treating yourself this week-end to an afternoon at a paintball park. For three hours Paintball Excursions charges $30 to
rent equipment and $15 for each box of paintballs used. On the other side of town, at Paintball USA, they do not charge for rental of equipment but charge $25 for each box of paintballs. Their sessions also last three hours. Write and solve an equation to find the number of boxes of paintballs you would have to use for both parks to charge the same amount.

Answer:
w = 16.875 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ratio of the length to width in a full-size cello is approximately 8 to 3.
This will be a constant for all cellos
Using the above we can find out length if we know width and vice versa.
Here we know the length = 45 inches
Since
BY cross multiplication we find that
8w = 3(45)
Or w = 16.875 inches
Verify:
Let us check our answer by comparing with proportion
l/w = 45/16.875 = 8/3
Hence our answer is right
