Question

Write a fraction setting the vertical length of the larger triangle over its horizontal length. What does this fraction represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Ratio = \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Vertical length / Horizontal length

From the attachment, we have:

$y = 4\ units$ --- the vertical length of the larger triangle

and

$x = 6\ units$ --- the horizontal length of the larger triangle

So, the ratio is:

$Ratio = \frac{y}{x}$

$Ratio = \frac{4\ units}{6\ units}$

$Ratio = \frac{4}{6}$

Divide by 2

$Ratio = \frac{2}{3}$
