Answer:

Width= 30

Length= 62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we simplify the length to width ratio

25/12=

2 1/12 ratio of length to width

width=x

length=2 1/12x

Make the equation for this ratio's perimeter being equal to 185

2(2 1/12x) + 2(x)=185

Solve for x

4 1/6x +2x=185

6 1/6x=185

x=30

Substitute the answer in for x to find the length and width

Width= 30

Length= 2 1/12(30)

Length= 62.5
