Question

two books are proportional in size One book is two inches thick and fourteen inches long the second book is 1.5 inches thick how long is the second

Answer 1

The length of the second book is 10.5 inches, while the first book's thickness is in a ratio of 2:1.5, which simplifies to 4:3. Similarly, the length of the first book is also in a ratio of 4:3 with the second book. Hence, we can calculate the second book's length as 14 divided by 4, multiplied by 3, which equals 10.5 inches.
