Question

The current size of an image on Samuel's computer is shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 8 inches and the width is labeled as width equal to 10 inches. What are the dimensions of the image at fraction 1 over 2 times its current size

Answer 1

Length is equal to 4 and width is equal to 5.

You can just divide each by 2.

Answer 2

The length and the width of image is 4 inches and 5 inches respectively

Explanation:

Given : Length of rectangle is 8 inches

Width of rectangle is 10 inches

To Find: What are the dimensions of the image at fraction
`(1)/(2)` times its current size

Solution:

Length of rectangle is 8 inches

Since we are given that the dimensions of the image at fraction
`(1)/(2)` times its current size

So, Length of image =
`(1)/(2) * 8 = 4`

Thus the length of image is 4 inches.

Width of rectangle is 10 inches

Since we are given that the dimensions of the image at fraction
`(1)/(2)` times its current size

So, width of image =
`(1)/(2) * 10 = 5`

Thus the width of image is 5 inches.

Hence the length and the width of image is 4 inches and 5 inches respectively.
