the ratio of width to length of a television scree in 3:4. What is the width of the screen if the length is 32 inches
x/32 = 3/4
To find the width of the television screen, we need to use the given ratio of width to length.
The ratio is 3:4, which means for every 3 units of width, there are 4 units of length.
If the length of the screen is 32 inches, we can set up a proportion to find the width.
Let's let "w" represent the width:
w/32 = 3/4
To solve for "w," we can cross multiply:
4w = 3 * 32
4w = 96
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for "w":
w = 96/4
w = 24
Therefore, the width of the television screen is 24 inches.
