You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Set up a ratio of \"length%2Fwidth\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5%2F1=21%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Notice the length is the numerator of both fractions, and width is in the denominator. Now, Just solve for x and you will have your width:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5=21%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5x=21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=21%2F1.5\"cm
\n" ); document.write( "I will let you work out the last step.
