Respuesta :
The length of the rectangle equals 80 cm, and the width equals 32 cm.
Divide the length to the width, we get the ratio between them :
80 : 32
Now, we simplify by dividing them both by the same number, in this case it's 16
=> 80 : 32 = (80 : 16) : (32 : 16) = 5:2
So, the ratio between the length and the width is 5:2
Answer:
5 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of length to breadth
= length : breadth
= 80 : 32
= [tex]\dfrac{80}{32}[/tex]
Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 8:
= [tex]=\dfrac{80 \div 8}{32 \div 8}=\dfrac{10}{4}[/tex]
Reduce further by dividing by 2:
[tex]=\dfrac{10 \div 2}{4\div 2}=\dfrac52[/tex]
Write as ratio: 5 : 2
