Question

Consider the rectangle with width 8 cm and length 20 cm, write a ratio of the width to length.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a relation between two numbers.

*A ratio determines how many times 20 contains/values 8.

A ratio representing the width to the length is:

8:20.

8 represents the width, 20 represents the length.

To simplify a ratio, you must divide each side by the same number.

Simplified ratios are:

4:10 (Divide by 2)

2:5 (Divide by 4)

1:2.5 (Divide by 8)

The ratio is detailing that the length is 2.5 times larger than the width.

Your answers are;

8:20

4:10

2:5

1:2.5
