A photograph is 4.5 inches wide and 6 inches long. A yearbook editor needs to reduce the photo to fit into a space that is 1.7 inches wide. How long is the reduced photo?
Compare length to width of the photos. 4.5 wide 1.7 wide
6 long = X
Use Cross products to solve. 4.5 * X = 6 * 1.7 4.5X = 10.2
6.
Divide both sides by 4.5
X = 2.27 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
