Question

Paola made a rectangular painting that has an area of 24 square feet. He now wants to make a similar

painting that has dimensions that are 2/3 the size of the original. What will the area of the new painting
be?

A.) 36 square feet

B.) 16 square feet

C.)12 square feet

D.) 10 2/3 square feet

Answer 1

D.) 10 2/3 square feet

Explanation:

The area will change by
`((2)/(3)) ^2=(4)/(9)`

multiply the area by 4/9 and you get 32/3 = 10 and 2/3 (because 10 = 30/3)
