The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.
Ratio = 18/27
When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,
Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: <em>2/3</em>
(X/3) - 8 = 12
X being a number divided by 3. This part in parentheses so you solve it first. Subtract 8 from that and your answer equals 12.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
Represent the width as an inequality
First, we represent the area as an inequality.

max as used above means less than or equal to.
So, we have:

The area of a rectangle is:

So, we have:

Substitute 10 for L

Divide both sides by 10
