Question
The ratio of the length to width of the official German flag is 5:3. Sandra is making 12 German flags for a culture show. Each flag she makes has a length of 20 centimeters. IT takes her 4 hours to make all the flags. What is the width of each flag and the average amount of time it takes Sandra to make each flag?

l : w = 5x : 3x
if 5x = 20
x = 4
then the width is 3x = 12
If she makes 12 flags in 4 hours, then she makes
3 flags/hour
if 5x = 20
x = 4
then the width is 3x = 12
If she makes 12 flags in 4 hours, then she makes
3 flags/hour
