Answer:
3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we start to deal with the ratio, we need all lengths in the same units.
The width is 18 inches.
The height is 2 feet.
Let's convert the height to inches. Then we will have both dimensions in the same units, inches.
2 ft * (12 in.)/ft = 24 in.
Now we have:
width = 18 in.
height = 24 in.
ratio of width to height = 18 in. to 24 in. = 18/24 = 3/4 = 3:4
<u>Answer:</u>
○ 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given the equation:
,
to solve for 
, we have to rearrange the equation to make its subject.
⇒ 
[expand brackets]
⇒ 
⇒ 
[add 
to both sides]
⇒ 
⇒ 
[subtract 96 from both sides]
⇒ 
⇒ 
[divide both sides by 20]
⇒ 
When given the scale factor, just multiply!
8cm * 2.5 = 20cm per side
