Question

The ratio of the length 5:3 if the rectangle is 24cm wide how long is it

Answer 1

Explanation:

I will assume that the missing word is width.

ratio of length to width = 5:3

Given ratio derived ratio

5:3 24 : x

This assumes that the length is 24 cm and it is the longer line.

5/3 = 24 / x x is the width

5x = 3*24 Combine the right

5x = 72 Divide by 5

x = 72/5

x = 14.4
