NeX [460]

Answer:

9:6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find x by setting the ratios equal to each other.

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{x}$

tigry1 [53]

Answer: Choice A) at most 2.5 ft wide

Work Shown:

16w ≤ 40

w ≤ 40/16

w ≤ 2.5

This says that the banner must be at most 2.5 ft wide (choice A)

In other words, the largest the width can get is w = 2.5; we can think of this as the ceiling value.
