Yes you are correct, you could have also just taken each number out a few more decimal places, 1075 and 1850, unless you were told to find the smallest numbers.

Length = 10.75 feet
Width = 18.50 feet
Ratio of length to width = 10.75/18.50
= 43/74
The required ratio is 43:74

If it's really length to width then you have it reversed, it's 43/74
