PLLZZZZ SOLVE!!!!

A toy company is redesigning its packaging for model cars. Resize it so that 1/2 inch on the old packaging represents 1/3 inch on the new package. Find the length of the new package. The old package measures 2 inches

Answer 1

The length of the new package is 4/3 in

Explanation:

we know that

1/2 inch on the old packaging represents 1/3 inch on the new package

so

using proportion

Find out the length of the new package if the old package measures 2 inches

Let

x ----> the length of the new package

`((1/3))/((1/2))(new)/(old)=(x)/(2)(new)/(old) \\\\x=(2/3)/(1/2)\\\\x=(4)/(3)\ in`

therefore

The length of the new package is 4/3 in
