Question

6. The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19. If the height of the label is 2.5

Answer 1

Answer:

9.5 inches width

Step-by-step explanation:

solve it using the proportion method

height/ width = 5/19

so let the width be x

so if         height: width:: height: width

                   5   :   19    ::      2.5 :   x

product of extremes = product of means

   5 x  x      =  19 x 2.5

    x=      47.5/5

    x=   9.5 inches (width )
