The ratio of the length to the width of a Canadian flag is 2∶1 Assume that you have a flag that is 9 cm wide.Find the length of the flag.Estimate the dimensions of a flag that has a scale factor of 3.

Answer 1

Since the ratio is 2:1= length: width

Then the ratio length of the flag is 18cm because you just multiple 9 times 2

So the ratio of the flag is 18:9

Now with a scale factor of 3 you just multiple the ratio by 3

The dimensions of the flag that has a scale factor of 3 is length = 54cm and the width = 27cm.
