Question

The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19. If the height of the label is 2 inches, what is its width?

Answer 1

If the ratio is 5:19, then for each inch of height, how much width do we get? How much then is it for 2 inches?


or you can look at it in terms of fractions if you'd like:\[\frac{ 5 }{19 } = \frac{ 2 }{ x }\]

solve for x and that's your answer

Answer 2

The width will be 15.2. What you do is setup a proportion and 5/19=4/x. Then cross multiply, so 5x=76 and 76 divided by 5 is 15.2
