Question

The floor plan of a dining room is shown below. What is the ratio of the length of the room to its area? Where Area = Length x Width.

It shows a room that is 12 feet wide and 22 feet long

Answer 1

Answer:

$ratio=\frac{1}{12}\ cm^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find  the ratio of the length of the room to its area

Divide the length by its area

so

$ratio=\frac{L}{A}$

Remember that

$A=LW$

substitute

$ratio=\frac{L}{LW}$

simplify

$ratio=\frac{1}{W}$

we have

$W=12\ cm$

substitute

$ratio=\frac{1}{12}\ cm^{-1}$
