The perimeter of a rectangle is 506 centimeters. If the ratio of its width to its length is 10 to 13, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
----------
10x is width
13x is length
------
P = 2(length + width)
506 = 2(10x+15x)
253 = 25x
x = 10.12
--------
10x = width = 101.2 cm
15x = length = 151.8 cm
--------------
