The length-to-width ratio of a television screen is 4 to 3. Mya bought a television with a length of 60 inches. What is the width of the television?
To find the width of the television, we can set up the proportion:
length / width = 4 / 3
Substituting the given length of 60 inches, we get:
60 inches / width = 4 / 3
Cross multiplying, we have:
3 * 60 inches = 4 * width
Simplifying, we find:
180 inches = 4 * width
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
width = 180 inches / 4
width = 45 inches
Therefore, the width of the television is 45 inches.
