Rusty is building a doghouse for his dog, Wheezer. He is making the dimensions of the doghouse proportional to his own house, which has a length of 54 feet and a width of 36 feet. If wheezer's new home is going to have a length of 6 feet, what will be the width?

1 answer

54/36 = 6/x

Cross multiply and solve for x.

54x = 216

x = 4
