Answer: 4.9 inches
Explanation:
39.6 / 3.3 = 12 That means that the painting’s width was reduced to 12 times less than the original size. Now we need to apply that to the length.
58.8 / 12 = 4.9
The new height is 4.9 inches.
Optional:
If you want to check, compare the ratios of width/length in the original and new. If done correctly, both ratios should be equal when plugged into a calculator.
39.6/58.8 and 3.3/4.9
Both equal 0.67 so we can be sure that the answers are done correctly.
