use proportions/ratios:
1 7/8 : 2 1/2 ≡ x : 4
Simplify ratios:
15/8 : 5/2 ≡ x : 4
15 : 20 ≡ x : 4
3 : 4 ≡ x : 4
Solve for x.
1 7/8 : 2 1/2 ≡ x : 4
Simplify ratios:
15/8 : 5/2 ≡ x : 4
15 : 20 ≡ x : 4
3 : 4 ≡ x : 4
Solve for x.

I think the answer is 3 inches because
3:4 = 3:4
it cannot be 3.3 because this is the same ratio equivalent to each other
3:4 = 3:4
it cannot be 3.3 because this is the same ratio equivalent to each other
