The length of a rectangle is 71/2 inches and the width is 23/4 inches. what is the ratio, using whole numbers, of the length to the width

142:23

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is given as 71/2 while its width is 23/4

We are required to determine the ratio of the length to the width;

length:width

(71/2):(23/4)

(71/2)/(23/4)

71/2 * 4/23 = 142/23

The ratio of the length to the width is thus;

142:23

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632
