<PRE><B>Question 285608</B>
if the area of a rectangle is 6720 square feet and the ratio of the width to the length is 7:15, what are the length and width?
-------------------
7:15 is the same as 7x:15x
-------------------------------
Equation:
LW = 6750
(7x)(15x) = 105x^2 
---
105x^2 = 6750 
x^2 = 64.29
-------------------
x = 8.02
--
7x = 56.12 (width)
15x = 120.27 (length)
========================
Cheers,
Stan H.
