The ratio of the length to width in a full-size cello is approximately 8 to 3. what is the width of a full-size cello that is 45 inches long? (you must use a proportion to solve) pls show work and explain i’m confused

w = 16.875 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of the length to width in a full-size cello is approximately 8 to 3.

This will be a constant for all cellos

Using the above we can find out length if we know width and vice versa.

Here we know the length = 45 inches

Since

BY cross multiplication we find that

8w = 3(45)

Or w = 16.875 inches

Verify:

Let us check our answer by comparing with proportion

l/w = 45/16.875 = 8/3

Hence our answer is right

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
