Answer:
The new width is 5.6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
New
[tex]H_2 = 22.4[/tex]
Old
[tex]H_1 = 5.6[/tex]
[tex]W_1 = 1.4[/tex]
Required
The new width
This is calculated using the following equivalent ratio
[tex]H_2 : W_2 = H_1 : W_1[/tex]
[tex]22.4 : W_2 = 5.6 : 1.4[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]W_2/22.4 = 1.4/5.6[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 22.4
[tex]W_2= 1.4/5.6 * 22.4[/tex]
[tex]W_2= 5.6[/tex]
