Malik created a model of a rectangular flag.

His model is 10
inches long and the actual flag is 25
inches long.

How many times wider is the actual flag than Malik's model?

The width ratio between the actual flag and Malik's model can be calculated by dividing the length of the actual flag by the length of Malik's model.

25 inches / 10 inches = 2.5

Therefore, the actual flag is 2.5 times wider than Malik's model.
