Question

Cassie reduced the size of a poster to a

height of 2 inches. What is the new width if the poster
was originally 18 inches wide and 2 feet tall?

Answer 1

Width = 1.5 Inches

Explanation:

Original Height: 24 Inches

Original Width: 18 Inches

Given Height: 2 inches

24 divided by 2 = 12. This means the poster was dilated by 12.

18 divided by 12 = 1.5

Answer 2

Answer: 3 feet²

Explanation:

Simply do 2*18 (In a rectangle A = l*w) to get 36 inches, or 36/12 feet, or 3 feet.
