Question

1. A rectangular rug has a length of 3 ft and width of 1 ft. A similar rug has a length of 9 ft. What is the width of the similar rug?

Answer 1

The width of the similar rug is 3 ft

Explanation:

Calculate the percentage between the lengths:

3/9 = 1/3 (percentage)

The percentage is fixed for the widths as well which means 1/x = 1/3

x=3
