length : width = ?

calculusfunctions · Answer

Length is 210 mm  and width is  65 mm.  Then

Length : width = ?

calculusfunctions · Answer

c'mon, it is literally that easy.

calculusfunctions · Answer

Length : width = 210 : 65

Since both  210  and  65 are divisible by  5,  we divide them by 5.  Hence

210 ÷ 5 = 42  and  65 ÷ 5 = 13

∴ the ratio of length to width is  42 : 13
