Question

Hendrick wants to enlarge a photo that is 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The enlarged photo keeps the same ratio. How y'all is the enlarged photo if it is 12 inches wide?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The original photo size is 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall.

So, the ratio of width and height will be =
`(4)/(6)=(2)/(3)`

The new enlarged photo will be of the same ratio means 2:3

The width of enlarged photo is given as 12 inches.

Suppose new height of enlarged photo is H, so

`(12)/(H)=(2)/(3)`

Cross multiplying

`2H=36`

Dividing 2 in both sides

`H=18` inches

So the height of new enlagred photo will be 18 inches. : Answer
