If the length, width and height of a hall are in the ratio 6 : 1 : 9,
\n" ); document.write( "then that hall is 9 times as tall as it is wide. A 6 : 1 : 0.9 ratio makes more sense.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If the length, width and height of a hall are in the ratio 6 : 1 : 0.9,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "width and height are in the ratio 1 : 0.9, meaning
\n" ); document.write( "\"width%2Fheight=1%2F0.9\" .
\n" ); document.write( "In this case,
\n" ); document.write( "\"7meters%2Fheight=1%2F0.9\"--->\"%287meters%29%2A0.9=1%2Aheight\"-->\"highlight%28height=6.3meters%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
