Question

the perimeter of a television screen is 112 inches the ratio of the length to the width is 9 to 5 find the length and width

length =
width=

Answer 1

let 9x = length
let 5x = width
perimeter =18x +10x =28x =112 in.
x=4
9x=36 in. length
5x = 20 in width.

Answer 2

112/2=56inches, this is the length and width add up together. 9+5=14, to see how many ratios are there. 56/14=4, this is one ratio. length is 5*4=20inches, width is 4*4=16inches
