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

inches, what is its width?

9.5 inches

21.5 inches

0.7 inches

7.5 inches

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)
