{a}^{2}


Sagot :

The length of the rectangle equals 80 cm, and the width equals 32 cm.

Divide the length to the width, we get the ratio between them :

80 : 32

Now, we simplify by dividing them both by the same number, in this case it's 16

=> 80 : 32 = (80 : 16) : (32 : 16) = 5:2

So, the ratio between the length and the width is 5:2

Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to breadth

= length : breadth

= 80 : 32

= [tex]\dfrac{80}{32}[/tex]

Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 8:

= [tex]=\dfrac{80 \div 8}{32 \div 8}=\dfrac{10}{4}[/tex]

Reduce further by dividing by 2:

[tex]=\dfrac{10 \div 2}{4\div 2}=\dfrac52[/tex]

Write as ratio:  5 : 2
