Question

P IS A RECTANGLE WITH A LENGTH OF 80 AND WIDTH OF X.Q IS A RECTANGLE WITHA A WIDTH OF 9.THE LENGTH OF Q IS 25 %MORE THEN THE LENGTH OF P.AREA OD Q IS 20% LESS THEN THE AREA OF P.WORK OUT THE RATIO OF X;Y

Answer 1

X:Y = 3/20

Explanation:

Given -

Length of rectangle P = 80

Width of rectangle P = X

Length of rectangle Q, Y = 25% more than the length of rectangle P

Length of rectangle Q = 1.25 X

Width of rectangle Q = 9

Area of rectangle P = 80X

Area of Q = 0.75 % of area of rectangle P

Area of Q = 0.75 * 80X = 60 X

or 9Y = 60 X

X:Y = 9/60

X:Y = 3/20
