Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The ratio should be 10 : 19

Given

Flag Ratio: 225 : 505

Break the dimensions into  prime factors.

225: 15 * 15 = 3*5 * 3*5

505: 5 * 101

Conclusion

101 is prime so this dimension cannot be broken down any further

The fives cancel out. The dimensions of this flag are in the ratio of 45/101 which is 0.4455

10/19 = 0.5263

I would say this is reasonably close.
