To find the length of the small youth T-shirt, we can set up a proportion comparing the width to the length of the large T-shirt and the width to the unknown length of the small youth T-shirt.
Let x be the length of the small youth T-shirt.
27.5 in / 29.5 in = 15.5 in / x
Cross multiply to solve for x:
27.5 * x = 15.5 * 29.5
27.5x = 458.25
x = 458.25 / 27.5
x ≈ 16.65
Therefore, the length of the small youth T-shirt is approximately 16.65 inches when rounded to the nearest inch.
