Question

A rectangular computer monitor is measured by the length and width of its display resolution. Three different monitors are described below. Monitor A has a display resolution of 640 pixels by 480 pixels. Monitor B has a display resolution of 800 pixels by 600 pixels. Monitor C has a display resolution of 1,280 pixels by 800 pixels. Which of the monitors are similar, based on their display resolution

Answer 1

Answer: Monitors A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The similar monitors based on display resolution are those with similar ratios.

Take the ratios to their simplest forms to see which are similar.

Monitor A

= 640 : 480

= 16 : 12

= 4 : 3

Monitor B

= 800 : 600

= 8 : 6

= 4 : 3

Monitor C

= 1,280 : 800

= 32 : 20

= 8 : 5

Monitors A and B are similar as they have the same display ratio.
