Question

Rebecca is framing a photo that has a width of 12 inches. The length of the photo is 1 1/3 times as long as it is wide. What is the length of the photo?

A) 8 inches
B) 16 inches
C) 24 inches
D) 36 inches

Answer 1

Answer: B, 16 Inches

Step-by-step explanation: You need 1 and 1/3 of 12 inches or 4/3 of 12 inches. (4/3 = 1/3 + 1) All you will have to do is multiply 4/3 by 12 which will give you 16. Or you can calculate 1/3 of 12 which is 4 and multiply it by 4.

Answer 2

B: 16
12 • 1 = 12
12 • 1/3 = 4
12 + 4 = 16
