Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let;

[tex]L = Length; W= Width[/tex]

So:

[tex]L_1=16in; W_1 = 6in[/tex]

[tex]L_2 = 24[/tex]

Required

Determine [tex]W_2[/tex]

To do this, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

[tex]L_1 : W_1 = L_2:W_2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]16 : 6= 24:W_2[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{6}{16}= \frac{W_2}{24}[/tex]

Multiply by 24

[tex]W_2 = 24 * \frac{6}{16}[/tex]

[tex]W_2 = 9[/tex]
