\:

Given:-


  • \rm{Length \: of \: rectangle = \bold{ 24in. \: }}


\:


  • \rm{Breadth \: of \: rectangle = \bold{ 4ft. }}


\:

To find:-

  • radio of the length of the longer side to the shorter side.

Solution:-


  • \rm{ratio = 24 : 4 }


\:


  • \rm(A)/(B) = (24)/(4)


\:


  • \cancel (24)/(4)

~How to find ratio?

  • Ratios compare two numbers, usually by dividing them.
  • If you are comparing one data point (A) to another data point (B), your formula would be A/B.
  • This means you are dividing information A by information B.
