Answer:
width ≈ 18.3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
width = 45% of length
= ×[tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] × 16
= 0.45 × 16
= 7.2 inches
Using the given conversion with x being the width in cm
[tex]\frac{5}{12.7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7.2}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
5x = 91.44 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 18.288
width ≈ 18.3 cm ( to 1 dec. place )
