To find the length of the small youth T-shirt, we can use a proportion to compare the width and length of the large T-shirt and the small youth T-shirt.
The ratio of the width to the length of the large T-shirt is 27.5 in. / 29.5 in.
We can set up the proportion like this:
27.5 / 29.5 = 15.5 / x
Cross multiply to solve for x:
27.5 * x = 15.5 * 29.5
27.5x = 458.25
x = 16.65
So, the length of the small youth T-shirt is approximately 17 inches.
A T-shirt comes in different sizes. A large T-shirt is 27.5 in. wide and 29.5 in. long. If a small youth T-shirt is 15.5 in. wide, what is its length to the nearest inch if it is similar to the large t-shirt? Show your work or explain your process. Describe like a 6th grader
