Question

42. A rectangular box measures 0.75m by
0.5m. Find the ratio of the width to the length.
A. 1:4
B. 1:2
C. 2:3
D. 5:7
E. 3:5​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratio of width : length in fractional form, that is

0.5 m = $\frac{1}{2}$ m and 0.75 m = $\frac{3}{4}$ m , then

$\frac{1}{2}$ : $\frac{3}{4}$ ( multiply both parts by 4 to eliminate the fractions )

= 2 : 3 → C
