Question

the ratio of width to length of the united states flag is 10:19. If the width of the flag of Emerson's School is 4 ft , what is the length?

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the united states flag is
`2(2)/(19)\ feet`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of width to length of the united states flag is 10:19

So, Let the length of the united states flag be 10x

Let the width of the united states flag is 19x

As we have the width of the flag of Emerson's school = 4 feet.

According to question,

`19x=4\\\\x=(4)/(19)`

So, our length of the united states flag will be

`10x=10* (4)/(19)\\\\=(40)/(19)\\\\=2(2)/(19)\ feet`

Hence, the length of the united states flag is
`2(2)/(19)\ feet`
