The perimeter of a rectangle is 96 ft. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if the ratio of the length to the width is 7: 5. Which of the following would be the best equation to use to solve this problem?

Question

anonymous · Answer

A ratio of 7:5 can be expressed algebraically as 7x:5x

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

2(7x) + 2(5x) = 96
14x + 10x = 96
24x = 96

Divide each side by 4, you get
x = 4

length = 7x or 14 ft
width = 5x or 10 ft
