The length of a cell phone is 1.6 inches and the width is 3.4 inches. The company

making the cell phone wants to make a new version whose length will be 2.08 inches.
Assuming the side lengths in the new phone are proportional to the old phone, what
will be the width of the new phone?

Assuming that the aspect ratio would remain constant, the new length of the phone should be 4.42 inches.
