Question

the length of a rectangular room is 12m and its width is 6.8m find the ratio of its length to its width

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the length of the room to the width of the room would be 30:17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are finding the ratio of the length to its width, we would write the first step as:

$\frac{12}{6.8}$

which can be further written as:

$\frac{120}{68}$ by removing the decimal in denominator and adding a 0 in the numerator.

Further simplification this gives us:

$\frac{120}{68} = \frac{60}{34} = \frac{30}{17}$ which is obtained by dividing it by 2 in numerator and denominator.

Therefore, your final answer is $\frac{30}{17}$ which can be written as 30:17.
