Direct answer :

Width of the enlarged photograph = 14 cm

Steps to derive the correct answer :

Length of a small photograph = 6 cm

Width of a small photograph = 4 cm

Length of the photograph when enlarged = 21 cm

Let the width of the photograph when enlarged be x.

Which means :


= \tt 4 : 6 : : x : 21


=\tt (4)/(6) = (x)/(21)


=\tt 4 * 21 = 6 * x


=\tt 84 = 6x


=\tt x = (84)/(6)


=\tt x = 14

Thus, the value of x = 14

Therefore, the width of the enlarged photograph = 14 cm
