First, we can see both triangles are proportional, it means it has the same relation between its sides even if one is in a large scale and the other on a a small scale.

Now we can identify which side corresponds to which side. Once side AC is the longest one for triangle ABC it means its equivalent for triangle PQR is the side RP, so the equivalent for side AB is side QP. Once we know that we can write the following relation and calculate:
