A photo 5 inches wide and 8 inches long is enlarged.
How wide is the new photo if it is (1)12 inches; (2)20 inches; (3)10 inches long?

Answer 1

Explanation:

if the new photo is 12 inches long than the photo is enlarged

12/8=3/2

so the new photo is (3/2)*5 =15/2=7.5 inches wide.

Now,about the new photo 20 inches long it means that is enlarged 20/8=5/2 inches

so the new photo is wide 5*(5/2)=25/2=12,5 inches.

The photo 10 inches long is enlarged 10/8=5/4 inches.So the new photo is 5*(5/4)=25/4=6,25 inches wide.
