For each of two rectangles, the ratio of the rectangle’s length to its width is $10$ to $5$. The width of rectangle $X$ is $16.5$ times the width of rectangle $Y$. How does the length of rectangle $X$ compare to the length of rectangle $Y$?

A

The length of rectangle $X$ is $0.5$ times the length of rectangle $Y$.

B

The length of rectangle $X$ is $2$ times the length of rectangle $Y$.

C

The length of rectangle $X$ is $16.5$ times the length of rectangle $Y$.

D

The length of rectangle $X$ is $33$ times the length of rectangle $Y$.
