The ratio of the width to length of a rectangle is 4:5. If the area of the rectangle is 500 square centimeters, what is the length of the rectangle?

The bot is wrong again.

width ---- 4x
length ---- 5x
20x^2 = 500
x^2 = 25
x = 5

the length is 5x or 25 cm

check: width is 20, and the length is 25, which is the ratio of 20:25 = 4:5
area = 20(25) cm^2 = 500 cm^2

Length = 500 cm / 4 cm = 125 cm
