Question

the side length of the state flag of Colorado are in the ratio of 2:3 if the flag is 12 ft long what is the height?​

Answer 1

The height is 8

Explanation:

Ratios are just fractions. That being said, you also have part of a fraction. You know that the colorado flag is in 2:3, and 12 feet long is according to that ratio; it equals each other.

Make the equation.

`(2)/(3) = (x)/(12)`

Now isolate x (in order to solve for it)

`12 * (2)/(3) = (x)/(12)*12\\8 = x`

x= 8

The height is 8.

8/12 = 2/3 ✅
