Area = length multiplied by width is the area of a square in two dimensions ; length and width.
Volume = length multiplied by width and height is the volume of a square in three dimensions; length, width, and height.
Is/Of = X/100...this formula is useful to determine matching values in algebra. 2/4 = X/100. The numerator of the first fraction diagonally multiplies the denominator the second fraction. Then the denominator of the first fraction diagonally multiplies the numerator of the second fraction. 200 = 4X. Divide both sides the equation by 4. 50 = X. Restate the equation using the new terms. 2/4 = 50/100.
