Explanation:

We are given:

You have a 4 in. X 6in. family picture that you want to resize. You can choose from a 16 in. X 20 in. or an 18 in. X 24 in. Which size will keep more of the original picture.

First divide 6 by 4: we get,

6/4 = 1.5 inches

This is the ratio to achieve.

Now divide 20 by 16

20/16 = 10/8

10/8 = 5/4

5/4 = 1.25 inches

Now divide 24 by 18

24/18 = 12/9

12/9 = 4/3

4/3 = 1.333 inches

1.333 is more close to 1.5 than 1.25 .
