Question

Emma wants to enlarge a square photo and print it to a square canvas.

The side length of the canvas is 10 in. The scale from the canvas to the
photo is 5 in. to 1 in. What is the side length of Emma's photo?
A) 20 in.
B) 5 in.
C) 15 in.
D) 2 in.

Answer 1

The side length of Emma's photo is 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length of Emma's photo, we can use the given scale from the canvas to the photo. If the scale is 5 in. to 1 in., then the photo is 1/5 the size of the canvas. Since the side length of the canvas is 10 in., the side length of the photo would be 10 in. divided by 5, which is 2 in. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 2 in.
