Question

A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school banner and has a length of 17 inches. What is the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign?

Answer 1

The ratio of the sign to the banner is 17:54 or in fractional form, 17/54. To determine the sign's width, the same ratio would hold true, so 17/54 = w/36 or w = (17*36)/54 or 11 1/3. From there, calculating the area ratios is simple.
