Jasmine is reducing the height of the yearbook picture from 5 inches to 2 inches and we are trying to find the percentage of the original height that is the new height.

The original height was 5 inches and the new height is 2 inches.

new/original = 2/5

2÷5 = 0.4

0.4 = 40%

Thus, the new height is 40% of the original height.
