The ratio of the length of a rectangular patio to its width is 3.5 to 2. If the rectangle’s width is 18 feet, its length, in feet, is closest to which of the following?

(A) 14
(B) 22
(C) 26
(D) 32
(E) 52

Lenght/Width = 3.5/2 = 35/20 = 7/4 = 28/16

Width =18 is between 16 and 20..........the length must be 28 and 35.........only one answer fits 32

Answer: D

We can create the proportion, letting L = the actual length of the patio:

3.5/2 = L/18

63 = 2L

31.5 = L

Answer: D
