Hello!

From our given picture, we have the dimensions 4 and 6; the length and width.
Let's take a look at our question. "What are the dimensions of the image at fraction
(1)/(2) times its current size?"
This question is asking for what would be the dimensions if we set our scale factor as 2:1 (Original to New), so let's divide our dimensions by 2 (or multiply by 0.5 - either works).

6 / 2 = 3 (Width)
4 / 2 = 2 (Length)

Our new dimensions are 3 for the width and 2 for the length.

Answer choice "D. Length = 2 inches, width = 3 inches" fits our concluded answer; therefore, the answer choice is "D.)"

I hope this helps!
