Question

What is the ratio of the length of the longer side to the length of the shorter side?

24 in.
4ft.

Answer 1

option:-

• 
  `\boxed{ \rm{B ) \: 6:1}}`

`\:`

Given:-

• 
  `\rm{Length \: of \: rectangle = \bold{ 24in. \: }}`

`\:`

• 
  `\rm{Breadth \: of \: rectangle = \bold{ 4ft. }}`

`\:`

To find:-

• radio of the length of the longer side to the shorter side.

`\:`

Solution:-

• 
  `\rm{ratio = 24 : 4 }`

`\:`

• 
  `\rm(A)/(B) = (24)/(4)`

`\:`

• 
  `\cancel (24)/(4)`

`\:`

• 
  `(6)/(1)`

or

• 
  `\underline{ \boxed{ \rm \red{ \: \: 6 : 1 \: \: }}}`
