Question

If the aspect ratio of a television is 8:6 and the height is 25 in, what is the width of theTelevision?

Answer 1

The aspect ration of a television is a ration between the length and the height of a tv, the height is represented on the numerator. So we have:

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(6)=(x)/(25) \\ 6\cdot x=8\cdot25 \\ 6\cdot x=200 \\ x=(200)/(6) \\ x=33.33 \end{gathered}`

The width of the television is approximately 33.3 inches.
