Question

The width-to-height ratio of a certain computer monitor
is 16 to 9. The monitor's height is 13.5 inches. What is
the width, in inches, of the monitor?

Answer 1

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $\frac{\textbf{width of computer monitor}}{\textbf{height of computer monitor}}=\frac{16}{9}$

It is given that $\text{height of computer monitor}=13.5$

$\text{width of computer monitor} =\text{height of computer monitor}\times \frac{16}{9}$

$\text{width of computer monitor}=13.5\times \frac{16}{9} =\frac{216}{9} =24$

Hence the required width in inches is 24.
