Answer: The value of BP is 5.25.

Explanation:

Here's why:

Find the ratio between the two different groups of line segments. If you do it in decimal or fraction, it's the same. So, 4/6 = 0.666666667. Then you must find the number that when 3.5 is divided by it, gives you 0.666666667. So that number is 5.25.
