Question

A rectangle has a length of 16

Answer 1

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let;

$L = Length; W= Width$

So:

$L_1=16in; W_1 = 6in$

$L_2 = 24$

Required

Determine $W_2$

To do this, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

$L_1 : W_1 = L_2:W_2$

This gives

$16 : 6= 24:W_2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{6}{16}= \frac{W_2}{24}$

Multiply by 24

$W_2 = 24 * \frac{6}{16}$

$W_2 = 9$
