Sagot :

In the given problem, apply your knowledge in algebra and basic math specially in perimeter of a rectangle and it's ratio.

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W.

Given:

A picture frame is 60 cm long and 10 cm wide.

Solution:

Step 1: Find the perimeter of a picture frame.

P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(60) + 2(10)

P = 120 + 20

P = 140 cm

Step 2: Identify the ratio of its lenght to its perimeter

Ratio → Length: Perimeter

Length is the longest side → 60 cm

Length: Perimeter = 60:140

Step 3: Simplify (lowest term)

60:140 ÷ 20:20 = 3:7

Ratio = 3:7

Answer: D. 3:7
