The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19. if the height of the label is 1.5 inches, what is the width?

Answer

Find out the  what is the width .

To prove

Let us assume that x be the scalar multiple of the height and width of the packaging label .

As given

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

If the height of the label is 1.5 inches .

Than the equation becomes

5x = 1.5

x = 0.3

Than

The width of a packaging label = 19 × 0.3

                                                    = $ 5.7

Therefore the width of the packaging label is $ 5.7 .

astronomers is your final answer! : )
