The zoom feature on a camera

lens allows you dilate what
appears on the display. When
you change from 100% to
500%, the new image on your
screen is an enlargement of the
previous image with a scale
factor of 5. If the new image is
47.5 millimeters wide, what was
the width of the previous
image?

Answer:

9.5 milimeters

Explanation:

100/500 = x/47.5

x = 9.5

(or just divide 47.5 by 5 because the scale factor was given)
