Question

The two rectangles below have the same height-to-width ratio. What is the value of w? (If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.) w = A.11.33B.17C.4.32D.20

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Since both rectangles have the same height to width ration, that means that

$\begin{gathered} \frac{21}{34}=\frac{7}{w} \\ cross\text{ multiplying we have } \\ 21\times w=7\times34 \\ 21w=238 \\ w=\frac{238}{21} \\ w=11.33 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is option A
