The width of a swimming pool is 18.5ft, and the length is 10.75ft. Write the ratio of length to width as ratio of whole numbers

1850/1075

Reduce it to lower terms by dividing numerator and denominator by 25. That will leave you with 74/43

To write the ratio of length to width as a ratio of whole numbers, we need to simplify the given fraction. The ratio of length to width can be expressed as a fraction by dividing the length by the width:

Length: Width = 10.75ft : 18.5ft

To simplify this fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers: 10.75 and 18.5.

Step 1: Find the GCD of 10.75 and 18.5.

10.75 = 2 * 5.375
18.5 = 2 * 9.25

The GCD of 10.75 and 18.5 is 2.

Step 2: Divide both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the GCD.

10.75 / 2 : 18.5 / 2
5.375 : 9.25

We now have the simplified ratio of length to width as a ratio of whole numbers:

5.375 : 9.25

Note that the ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers because there is no common divisor greater than 1 between the numerator and denominator.
