Question

The ratio of the length of a shorter walkway to the length of a longer walk way is 3 to 5. the length of the shorter walkway is 45 meters. What is the length of the longer walkway?

Answer 1

Answer: 75

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a ration of 3:5. That means 3 is the shorter and 5 is the longer. If the shorter one is 45, that means x=15(3x=45). This means the longer way will be 15x5=75 meters
