The width 2

The width of stamp M is 4/3 inches, and the length is 7/5 inches. The dimensions of stamp M are 7/6 times the dimensions of stamp P. What is the length of stamp P in inches?

Correct answer:

L₂ =  1.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} W_1=4/3=\frac{4}{3}\doteq 1.3333\text{in} \\ {L}_1=7/5=\frac{7}{5}=1.4\text{in} \\ r=\frac{7}{6}\doteq 1.1667 \\ M=r\cdot P \\ P=M/r \\ {W}_2=W_1/r=1.3333/1.1667=\frac{8}{7}\doteq 1.1429\text{in} \\ {L}_2=L_1/r=1.4/1.1667=\frac{6}{5}\text{in}=1.2\text{in} \end{gathered}$$
