Answer:
Length of a rectangle whose width is 4 inches is
6 inches
Explanation:
Ratio of length to its width is 3 to 2
Let length = L
Let Width = B
L: B = 3 : 2 (given)
[tex]\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Width ,B = 4
Insert B in above equation
[tex]\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{L}{4} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
cross multiply,
[tex]L = \frac{3}{2}\times4 [/tex]
L = 6 inches
Conversion(if required) ,
1 inch = 2.54 cm
6 inch = 2.54 (6)
L = 15.24 cm
