Answer 1

`\begin{array}{ccll} inches&meters\\ \cline{1-2} (1)/(2) & 4\\[1em] x& 32 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{~~ (1 )/(2 ) ~~}{x}~~=~~\cfrac{4}{32}\implies 16=4x\implies \cfrac{16}{4}=x\implies \stackrel{length}{4=x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{ccll} inches&meters\\ \cline{1-2} (1)/(2) & 4\\[1em] y& 24 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{~~ (1 )/(2 ) ~~}{y}~~=~~\cfrac{4}{24}\implies 12=4y\implies \cfrac{12}{4}=y\implies \stackrel{width}{3=y}`

Answer 2

The length is 4 in and the width is 3 in.
