Question

A chess board is made using the ratio of square length to king's height, 2.5 inches to 4.5 inches. If a chess board is made with a king's height of 2.25 inches, what is the length of the square?

0.75 inch
1.25 inches
2.25 inches
4.75 inches

Answer 1

The length of the square/ chess board would be 1.25 inches

Answer 2

Answer:
1.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that ratio of square length to king’s height is 2.5:4.5 —> 2.5/4.5=0.55…

So we need to figure out what number divided by 2.25 gives 0.55… (x/2.25=0.55…)

Multiply both sides by 2.25 to get 1.25
