Answer:

The last option would be your answer.

Explanation:

Let x be the common multiplier of the ratio. Therefore, the length is 9x and the width is 8x. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

2 * L + 2 * W = 68

2*L = 2* 9x = 9x + 9x

2*W = 2*8x = 8x + 8x

Since the perimeter is 68

9x + 9x + 8x + 8x = 68
