According to the newspaper report, it stated that the ratio of the length to the breadth of our national flag is 3:2. Singaporeans in London used pieces of agar-agar to make the nation flag measuring 10m by 5m to raise funds for school children. However, 3 : 2 is not the simplest form of 10 : 5. The highest common factor of 10 and 5 is 5, so we divide 10 by 5 which will give us the number 2 and we divide 5 by 5 which will give us the number 1. The ratio of the length to the breadth of our national flag is 2 : 1 not 
3 : 2.

Based on 3:2 ratio, the flag should be 7.5:5
