)the ratio of the length of an airplane wing to its width is 8 to 1 . if the length of a wing is 32.5 meters , how wide must it be ? round to the nearest hundredth .

Set up a proportion:



The numerator is the length of the airplane, and the denominator is the width of the airplane.

Cross multiply the fractions:



Divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself:



To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the thousandths value:

4.0625
2 < 5
4.0625 -> 4.06

The width of the airplane is 4.06 meters.
