Question

The ratio of length to width for a particular rectangle is 1.5. A scaled copy has width 6. What is the length of the scaled copy?

PLEASSEEEE SOMEONE HELP!!

Answer 1

The scaled length will be 9

Answer 2

ratio:


`(length)/(width) = (1.5)/(1) = (3)/(2)`

scale width to 6:

What value is needed to multiply the width to get 6?

you need to multiply the width by a factor of 3 to get 6.

so multiply the length by that factor.

The scaled length is 9
