A rectangle is 16m long and 12m wide. if the width is enlarged to 27 what is the length?

The length of the enlarged rectangle is 36 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Length of the rectangle = 16 meters

Width of the rectangle = 12 meters

2. If the width is enlarged to 27 what is the length?

Length of the new rectangle = x

For solving for x, we use this method:

12/16 = 27/x

12x = 27 * 16

12x = 432

x = 432/12

x = 36

The length of the enlarged rectangle is 36 meters.
