Question

If a photo measuring 4 inches by 6 inches is placed in a photo frame that is 2 inches wide all around, what percent of the framed photo is the photo itself?

Answer 1

it would be 2 by 2 in inches as the frame can only fit that much , which the area framed would be 4 inches as you multiply 2×2=4

Answer 2

Percentage of the photo = 50%

Explanation:

Given that the measurement of the photo is 4 inches by 6 inches and the measurement of the photo frame is 2 inches wide all around, it simply implies that is measurement of the photo frame is (4inches + 2inches) by (6 inches + 2inches). I.e 6inches by 8inches

To find the percentage of the photo itself, let find the area of the photo and that of the frame

Area of photo = 4 inches x 6 inches = 24inches²

Area of photo = 6 inches x 8 inches = 48inches²

Percentage of the photo = area covered by the photo / area covered by the frame x100

Percentage of the photo = 24/48 * 100

Percentage of the photo = 50%
