The ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle is 2ratio3 the width is 12cm .find the length

Let Length be L width W

The ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle is 2ratio3
L%2FW+=+2%2F3+
Width W =12 cm
L%2F12=+2%2F3
multiply both sides by 12

+L%2F12+%2A12+=+2%2F3+%2A12
Simplify
Length = 8 cm
