Question

A photo is 8 cm long and 6 cm wide. It is enlarged to make a print that is 18 cm wide.

What is the length of the enlargement?

Answer 1

24 cm

Explanation:

The photo was 6 cm wide, and was made into 18 cm wide. Divide 18 with 6:

To solve for the length enlargement, multiply 3 with the length, or 8 cm:

8 x 3 = 24

24 cm is the length of the enlargement.
