Ratio is a division in its simplest form.
To get the ratio of length to width, divide the two then simplify.
In this case, convert the length and width into decimals.
length = 7 1/2 = 7.5
width 4 3/4 = 4.75
ratio of length to width is;
7.5/4.75 = 750/475
This can now be written as;
750 : 475
Dividing both sides by 25;
= 750/25: 475/25
= 30 : 19
Answer:
5 stars? Answer down below
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b=350 => a=350 - b
3a + 5b = 1450
3(350-b)+b=1450
1050-3b+5b=1450
2b=400
b=200
a=150
