Answer 2

Answer:  Length of flower bed is 11.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of the width to the length of a flower bed is 10 : 19

Thus $\frac{W}{L}=\frac{10}{19}$

$=>L=\frac{19}{10}\times W$

Since Width W= 6 feet

Therefore $=>L=\frac{19}{10}\times 6feet=11.4 \, feet$

Thus length of flower bed is 11.4 feet
