Displacement-Length Ratio The displacement-length ratio D indicates whether a sailboat is relatively heavy or relatively light:

D = (d ÷ 2240) ÷x

where d is the displacement in pounds and

x = (L÷100)3

where L is the length at the waterline in feet (Sailing, www.sailing.com). Assuming that the displacement is 26,000 pounds, write D as a function of L and simplify it.
