Answer 1

To find the length of the small youth T-shirt, we can set up a proportion using the width of the large T-shirt and its length. Since the small youth T-shirt is similar to the large T-shirt, the ratio of width to length will be the same for both shirts. Therefore, the length of the small youth T-shirt can be calculated by setting up the proportion 27.5/29.5 = 15.5/x and solving for x, which is approximately 16.7 inches when rounded to the nearest inch.
