Answer:
L= 0.83 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Width= 1.2 in when length = 1 in
Required
Determine the length when width = 1 in
First, we need to determine the ratio
Ratio = [tex]\frac{Width}{Length}[/tex]
Ratio = [tex]\frac{1.2}{1}[/tex]
Ratio = 1.2 ---(1)
Let the required length be represented with L
So:
Ratio = [tex]\frac{Width}{Length}[/tex]
Ratio = [tex]\frac{1}{L}[/tex] ---(2)
Equate (1) and (2)
[tex]\frac{1}{L}[/tex] = 1.2
Multiply through by 1.2
L * [tex]\frac{1}{L}[/tex] = 1.2 * L
1 = 1.2 * L
Divide through by 1.2
L = [tex]\frac{1}{1.2}[/tex]
L = 0.83 in (Approximated)
