A common size for a driveway in a suburban village is 65 feet long by 25 feet wide. Does a larger driveway that is 91 feet long by 40 feet wide have the same ratio of width to​ length

1 answer

No, the larger driveway does not have the same ratio of width to length.

For the first driveway (65 feet long by 25 feet wide), the width to length ratio is 25/65, which simplifies to 5/13.

For the larger driveway (91 feet long by 40 feet wide), the width to length ratio is 40/91, which does not simplify to 5/13.

Therefore, the two driveways do not have the same ratio of width to length.
