Problema Solution
Ben prints a picture and the photo has a length of 14 inches and a width of 10 inches. Then Ben decides to print the picture in a smaller size. The ration of the size of the new picture to that of the original is 1.5 to 2. What is the length and width of the new picture
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
l = the length of the new picture
w = the width of the new picture
14 : l = 1.5 : 2
l = (2*14)/1.5
l = 18.67 in
10 : w = 1.5 : 2
w = (2*10)/1.5
w = 13.33 in
The length and width of the new picture are 18.67 in and 13.33 in.
