Using proportions, it is found that the thickness of the icing between the layers, in inches, is of:

E 1 inch

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, there are six layers, each measuring 1.25 inches tall, hence the height of these layers is:

6 x 1.25 = 7.5 inches

Then the height of the icing between the layers is of:

13.5 - 7.5 = 6 inches

Six layers, hence each icing is of:

6/6 = 1 inch
