Question

Sam drew a rectangle measuring 9 feet in length by 15 feet in width. If she wants to make a similar rectangle measuring 27 feet in length, what should the width be?

Answer 1

in short: the answer is 45

Answer 2

45

Explanation:

If sam made a rectangle 9 feet in length and 15 in width. And we already know the next rectangle is 27 feet we can divide it by 9.

27/9=3

Now that we know its 3x the normal size we can grab the 15 and multiply it by 3.

15x3=45
