Answer:

Distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.

Explanation:

We are told that distance from chin to forehead for the average person is 9 inches and distance between a person's ears is 6 inches. We are supposed to compare the ratio of a person's chin to forehead distance with respect to the distance between his ears.

We can present our given information as:
(9)/(6)


(9)/(6) =1.5

Therefore, distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.
