Write the ratio of the length to the width of a picture that is 10 1/2 inches long and 8 3/4 inches wide.

Question

The question is: Write the ratio of the length to the width of a picture that is 10 1/2 (written as a fraction) inches long and 8 3/4 inches wide.

The paper shows 10 1/2 as a fraction and 8 3/4 as a fraction as well...

I haven't done this kind of math in years so my memory is not the best

Answer 1

if Length = L = 10.5 = 21/2 and Width = W = 8.75 = 35/4

Then the ratio of Length/Width = (21/2)/(35/4) = (21/2) x (4/35) = 6/5
