Question

To the nearest millimeter, a cell phone is 74 mm long and 36 mm wide. What is the ratio of the width to the length?

Answer 1

The length of the cell phone is 74 mm

width of the cell phone is 36mm

Ratio means division

L : W = L/W

L = 74

W = 36

Ratio = 74 / 36

2 is a common factor of both 74 and 36

74/36

= 37/18

= 37 : 18

The answer is 37 : 18 or 2.05
