Question

Kareem and Julio have a rectangular model train layouts that are similar to each other. Julio's layout is 4 feet by 7 feet. Kareems layout is 6 feet wide. What is the length of kareems layout?


(Pls pls make sure to have a step by step explanation)

Answer 1

The ratio for Julio’s train layout is 4:7 or 1:1.75
The ratio for Kareem’s train has to be the same ratio to be a similar layout
If you multiply 6 by 1.75, you can find the length.
6 times 1.75 is 10.5
This means the ratio is 6:10.5 and so length is 10.5
