Answer:

1.88 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 15:8

To find how many times the width is the length of the rectangle,

divide the length ratio by the width ratio;

15/8 = 1.875

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is approximately 1.88 times the width. This means that the measurement of  length is higher than the width.

For example if the width of this triangle is 10cm, the length would be 1.88 times that width; 1.88 * 10 = 18.8cm.
