Question

Someone please help & show me step by step. Will become fan!

Answer 1

Tory has two similar picture frames in her bathroom. The ratio of the larger picture frame to the smaller picture frame is 5:2. If the perimeter of the smaller picture frame is 30 in, what is the perimeter of the bigger picture frame?

Answer 2

If the ratio is 5:2, this means that EVERY length in the larger frame is 2.5 times bigger than the corresponding length in the smaller one.
If you think about how the perimeter is defined, I think you will have a good idea how the perimeter of 30 can be converted to that of the larger one.

Answer 3

so would you do 30 divided by 2.5 to get the other perimeter? @ZeHanz

Answer 4

wait nvm times it by 2.5?

Answer 5

so the perimeter of the bigger frame would be 30 times 2.5? which is 75?

Answer 6

The larger frame has a larger perimeter :)
So, because the perimeter is just the sum of a few lengths, where EACH length is 2.5 times bigger, the larger perimeter is also 2.5 times bigger, or 75 in.

Answer 7

Alright thank you appreciate it!(:

Answer 8
