the official height-to-width ratio of the united states flag is 1 : 1.9. if a united states flag is 9.5 feet wide,how high should it be?

1/1.9 = h/9.5

Solve for h.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

5ft

9.5 / 1.9 = 5,

therefore
5 x 1.9 = 9.5

To calculate the height of the United States flag, we can use the given height-to-width ratio, which is 1:1.9.

Here's how to calculate it:

1. Start with the known width of the flag, which is 9.5 feet.
2. Divide the width by the width ratio (1.9) to find the height.
9.5 feet / 1.9 = 5 feet

Therefore, the height of the United States flag should be 5 feet if the width is 9.5 feet.
