Answer 1

Set up a proportion for the length and width of each shape:


`(3)/(5) = (x)/(3)`

The numerator represents the length, and the denominator represents the width of the shapes.

Cross multiply the two fractions:


`5x = 9`

Divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself:


`x = 1.8`

The missing length is 1.8 inches.
