Question

The photo has a width of 720 pixels. The photo has a height of 540 pixels.

(a) Write down the ratio of the width of the photo to the height of the photo. Give your ratio in its simplest form.

Answer 1

The ratio of the width of the photo to the height of the photo is 4:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of the width of the photo to the height of the photo, divide the width by the height.

Ratio = width / height

Given that the width is 720 pixels and the height is 540 pixels:

Ratio = 720 / 540

Simplify the ratio by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor:

• 720 ÷ 180 = 4
• 540 ÷ 180 = 3

So, the ratio of the width to the height is 4:3.
