Jacob reduced the size of a painting to a width of 3 in. What is the new height if it was originally 8 in tall and 6 in wide?

The original width is 6 inches, and was reduced to 3 inches, which is half. Keeping this in mind, the new height should be half the original 8 inch height, being halved to 4 inches.
