Question 559366
The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 inches. the ratio of the length to the width is 6:1. find the length and the width
Ratio is 6/1

multiply by common factor x

the length = 6x & width = 1*x

perimeter = 2(L+W)

Perimeter = 2(6x+x)

56=14x
/14
x=4 

width = 4
and the length = 24

CHECK

24+24+4+4 = 56
