<PRE><B>Question 599404</B>
P = 2L+2W


L = 6W


P = 2(6W)+2W


P = 12W+2W


P = 14W


------------------


A = LW


A = (6W)W


A = 6W^2


----------------


A/P


(6W^2)/(14W)


(3W)/7



So the ratio A/P is (3W)/7



You can write the ratio as (3W)/7:1 or as 3W:7</PRE>
