6.1Example 1
SOLUTION
64 m : 6 ma. b. 5 ft20 in.
b. To simplify a ratio with unlike units, multiply by a conversion factor.
a. Write 64 m : 6 m as . Then divide out the units and simplify.
64 m6 m
= 323
= 32 : 3
5 ft20 in. = 60
20 = 31
Simplify the ratio.
64 m6 m
= 5 ft20 in.
12 in.1 ft

6.1Guided Practice
Simplify the ratio.
1. 24 yards to 3 yards
ANSWER 8 : 1
2. 150 cm : 6 m
ANSWER 1 : 4
6.1Example 2
SOLUTION
Painting You are planning to paint a mural on a rectangular wall. You know that the perimeter of the wall is 484 feet and that the ratio of its length to its width is 9 : 2. Find the area of the wall.
Write expressions for the length and width. Because the ratio of length to width is 9 : 2, you can represent the length by 9x and the width by 2x.
STEP 1
6.1
STEP 2
Solve an equation to find x.
Formula for perimeter of rectangle
Substitute for l, w, and P.Multiply and combine like terms.
Divide each side by 22.
=2l + 2w P=2(9x) + 2(2x) 484= 48422x
Evaluate the expressions for the length and width. Substitute the value of x into each expression.
STEP 3
= 22x
Length = 9x = 9(22) = 198
Width = 2x = 2(22) = 44
Example 2
The wall is 198 feet long and 44 feet wide, so its area is198 ft 44 ft = 8712 ft .2.
6.1Example 3
Combine like terms.
SOLUTION
Triangle Sum Theorem
Divide each side by 6.= 30x
=6x 180
= 180°x° + 2x° + 3x°
ALGEBRA The measures of the angles in CDE are in the extended ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. Find the measures of the angles.
Begin by sketching the triangle. Then use the extended ratio of 1 : 2 : 3 to label the measures as x°, 2x°, and 3x°.
The angle measures are 30°, 2(30°) = 60°, and 3(30°) = 90°.
