Question

At a certain movie theater, the ratio of length to width of the movie screen is 16:9. If the

length of the screen is 90 feet, then, to the nearest foot, how many feet is its whdth?

Answer 1

about 51 ft

Explanation:

I am not sure if this is the correct answer

16:9 = 16/9

90/x = 16/9

1. 90 * 9 = x * 16
2. 810 = x * 16
3. x * 16 = 810
4. ( x * 16 ) / 16 = 810 / 16
5. x = 405/8
6. 405/8 = 50.625
7. 50.625 is about 51

Remember that i am not sure about this answer, but I hope this helps!
