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? hint: set up and solve as a proportion and find x.

7.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

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

h/w = 5/19 [1]

If the height of the label is 2 inches, and its width is unknown (x), that is,

h/w = 2 in/x [2]

We can set up a proportion with [1] and [2],

5/19 = 2 in/x

We use the cross product property of proportions.

5 × x = 19 × 2 in

x = 19 × 2 in/ 5 = 7.6 in

The width is 7.6 inches.
