The surface of a computer chip is a rectangle with length 9/64 inch and width 1/32 inch. Write the ratio of the length of the rectangle to the perimeter of the rectangle as a fraction in simplest form. Write the ratio of the width to the perimeter as a fraction in simplest form.
Let's compute the perimeter = 2 (L + W)
And we have 2 (9/64 + 1/32) = ...... [1/32 = 2/64] ........
2 (9/64 + 2/64) =
2 ( 11/64) =
22/64 [do not reduce !!!]
Length / Perimeter = [9/64] / [ 22/64] = [9/64] * [64/ 22] = [64/64] * [9 / 22] = 1 * 9/22 = 9 / 22
Width / Perimeter = [2/64] / [ 22/64] = [2/64] * [64/ 22] = [64/64] * [2 / 22] = 1 * 1 / 11 = 1 / 11
