The photographer wants to mat his picture on a piece of cardboard. He is not sure if the cardboard is the right size. He has determined that the height (h) and the width (w) of the cardboard will be the right size if it satisfies the equation w-4/h-4 = 4/3. If the cardboard's height is 7, what is the width?

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Since the cardboard’s height is 7, and 7-4 is 3, we can assume the width would be something - 4 = 4. 8-4 is 4, hence the answer is 8.
