Answer:
7.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19, that is,
h/w = 5/19 [1]
If the height of the label is 2 inches, and its width is unknown (x), that is,
h/w = 2 in/x [2]
We can set up a proportion with [1] and [2],
5/19 = 2 in/x
We use the cross product property of proportions.
5 × x = 19 × 2 in
x = 19 × 2 in/ 5 = 7.6 in
The width is 7.6 inches.
