Question

Fran used a graphics program to reduce a

digital image. The original dimensions of the
image were 20 cm wide by 12 cm long. She
used a scale factor of 0.6. What are the
dimensions of the reduction?

Answer 1

The reduced dimensions are:

Width = 12 cm

Length = 7.2 cm

Explanation:

Original dimensions of Image:

Width = 20 cm

Length = 12 cm

Fran reduced the dimensions using a scale factor of 0.6

We need yo find dimensions of reduction.

We would multiply the original dimensions by 0.6 to find the new dimensions.

So, Width = 20 * 0.6 = 12

length = 12 * 0.6 = 7.2

So, the reduced dimensions are:

Width = 12 cm

Length = 7.2 cm
