Answer 23

I will set up an example.
If i had a rectangle box 1 by 2, and i ordered a new one but larger and it was 4 but i don't know the length of it. But i know the ratio is by a half.

Answer 24

The ratio is 1/2, so i know what ever fraction i got for (4/?) it will get further reduced to 1/2.

Answer 25

So, to do this problem, i will set it up in proportion. I know that my fraction (4/?) will equal to 1/2)
