Answer:
Ratio of width to length in simplified fraction is 19:36
Solution:
To the nearest milimeter, a cell phone is 72mm long and 38 mm wide
We need to find the ratio of width to length
Given that:
Length of the cell phone is 72 mm
Width of the cell phone is 38 mm
The ratio of width to length can be written as:
width : length = 38 : 72
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{38}{72}=\frac{2 \times 19}{2 \times 36}} \\\\ {=\frac{19}{36}} \\\\ {=19: 36}\end{array}[/tex]
Hence ratio of width to length in simplified fraction is 19:36
