Question

The dimensions of a dollar bill are 6.125 inches by 3.375 inches. However, a dollar bill created 1891 to 1928 had dimensions of 7.3125 inches by 3.125 inches. Are the two dollar bills similar?

Answer 1

So, we need to set up a ratio


`(6.125)/(3.375) = (7.3125)/(3.125)`
1.814 =2.34

Since these values are not equal, they are not similar
