Answer:
[tex]L = 0.83\ in[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Width = 1.2 in when Length = 1 in
Required
Determine the length when width = 1 in
First, we need to determine the ratio:
[tex]Ratio = \frac{Width}{Length}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = \frac{1.2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 1.2[/tex] --- (1)
Let the required Length be represented with L
So:
[tex]Ratio = \frac{Width}{Length}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = \frac{1}{L}[/tex] --- (2)
Equate (1) and (2)
[tex]\frac{1}{L} = 1.2[/tex]
Multiply through by L
[tex]L * \frac{1}{L} = 1.2 * L[/tex]
[tex]1 = 1.2 * L[/tex]
Divide through by 1.2
[tex]L = \frac{1}{1.2}[/tex]
[tex]L = 0.83\ in[/tex] (Approximated)
