Question

The ratio of the length of an airplane wing to its width is 8 to 1. If the length of a wing is 26.6 ?meters, how wide must it? be?

Answer 1

3.325 m

Explanation:

Let x meters be the width of airplane wing.

If the ratio of the length of an airplane wing to its width is 8 to 1, then the width is x meters and the length is 8x meters.

If the length of a wing is 26.6, then

8x=26.6,

x=26.6:8,

x=3.325 meters.
