Answer 1

Given:

The length of a TV is
`(16)/(9)` times the width.

Length of the new TV = 32 inches.

To find:

The width of the new TV.

Solution:

Let x be the width of the new TV.

It is given that, the length of a TV is
`(16)/(9)` times the width.

`Length=(16)/(9)x`

Length of the new TV = 32 inches.

`32=(16)/(9)x`

`32* (9)/(16)=(16)/(9)x* (9)/(16)`

`18=x`

Therefore, the width of the new TV is 32 inches.
