Question

Patty made a banner that has an area of 112 square inches. The length and width of the banner are whole numbers. The length is 7 times greater than the width. What are the dimensions of the banner?

Answer 1

The width of the banner is 4 inch and the length of the banner is 28 inch

Explanation:

Given

Length is seven times its width

Let the width be "X", then length would be 7X

The banner is of rectangular shape.

Its area is 112 square inches

`X* 7X = 112\\7X^2 = 112\\X^2 = 16\\X = 4`

Hence, the width of the banner is 4 inch and the length of the banner is 4*7 i.2 28 inch
