Question

On an official united states flag, the ratio of width to length is exactly 1 to 1.9. What is the area of a United States flag whose width is 2 feet.

Answer 1

`(1)/(1.9)=(2)/(x)\\(1.9)/(1)=(x)/(2)\\(1.9(2))/(1)=(x(2))/(2)\\(3.8)/(1)=x\\x=3.8\\\\A=lw\\A=(3.8)(2)\\A=7.6`

The area is 7.6 feet.
