Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion, with width on the top of the ratio and length on the bottom and fill in according to the info you've been given:

[tex]\frac{w}{l}:\frac{5}{8}=\frac{x}{12}[/tex]

x is the unknown width we are looking for.  Cross multiply to get

8x = 60 so

x = 7.5
