Question

Anna enlarged a photo to hang over her fireplace. The new Bh photo is 47.2 inches wide. If the original photo was 3.6 inches tall and 5.9 inches wide, what is the height of the new photo?

Answer 1

28.8 inches tall

Explanation:

47.2/5.9 = 8

8(3.6) = 28.8

Dividing the corresponding widths of the photos can help you find the scale factor. After finding the scale factor of 8 you can multiply the height to find the new scaled height of 28.8.
