Question

A photograph measures 10 in. wide by 18 in. long. The picture is reduced so that the length is 6 in.

What is the new width?
a: 13 in
b: 313 in
c: 1045 in
d: 30 in
explain your answer please

Answer 1

Explanation:

The length has been reduced to 6 inches from 18 inches.

That means the length has been reduced to 6/18 = 1/3 of its original size.

So the width must be reduced to 1/3 * 10 which is roughly 3.333 inches.

It doesn't look like any of them are right. i don't know how to make it right from the answers given.
