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.

Height/width=5/19
5/19=2/x
(5)(x)=(19)(2)
5x=38
5/5x=38/5
x=38/5in or 7.6in

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between -40°C and 125°C.

So inequality which models this situation will be -40°C < T < 125°C

Now we have to show this inequality in Fahrenheit temperature with the help of C=\frac{5}{9} (F-32)

So the compound inequality in Fahrenheit temperature will be

-40 < \frac{5}{9} (F-32) < 125

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:  The amount of Karen's bill = $ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The expression 10+0.25m can be used to determine the amount o, where <em>m =</em> The number of minutes she talks.

If she talks for 200 minutes in one month, then put m= 200 in the above expression we will get the amount of Karen's bill =  10+0.25(200)

= 10+ 50

= 60

Hence,  the amount of Karen's bill = $ 60
