Question

Tai resized a photograph that was 8 inches by 10 inches so that it would fit on a 4 inch by 4 inch page. Find the maximum dimensions of the reduced photograph. An explanation wold be great, please. Thank you so much!

Answer 1

ok so it has to be max 4 inches when resized since the max size is 4 inches

10 is max of original so
they have to be shrunk in same ratio so find ratio of shrink
10 times ratio=4
divide both sides by 10
ratio=4/10=2/5
so multiply the measuremet by 2/5 to find new dimention

8 times 2/5=16/5=3 and 1/5=3.2


new dimentions is 4 by 3.2 inches
