Please I need the answer

Answer 1

The ratio of the width to the​ length of a cell phone is 18 : 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of a cell phone(l) = 82 mm  and

The width of a cell phone(b) = 36 mm

Find, the ratio of the width to the​ length of a cell phone = ?

∴ The ratio of the width to the​ length of a cell phone

= 36 mm : 82 mm

= 36 : 82

Divided by 2, we get

= $\dfrac{36}{2}$ : $\dfrac{82}{2}$

= 18 : 41

Thus, the ratio of the width to the​ length of a cell phone is 18 : 41.
