A copy was made of John's painting. The copy resized the painting so that it measured 6 inches wide by 12 inches long. If the actual painting is 18 inches wide, what is it's length?

Make a comparison of length and width
length/width = length/width
eg. l is the length we are looking for

Then submit the number
length/width = length/width
l/18 = 12/6
l/18 = 2
l = 2 × 18
l = 36

The actual length is 36 inches
