Question

you are enlarging a photo on your computer screen. the photo starts at 3 centimeters wide. each time you enlarge the photo, its width is doubled. you enlarge the photo four times. what is the width of the photo on your screen?

Answer 1

The width is 48cm, it’s basically 3^4 so 3x3x3x3 which equals 48.

Answer 2

Answer:

The final width of the photo is 48 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

• The initial width is 3 centimeters.
• When you enlarge the photo, its width doubled.
• You enlarge the photo four times.

According to the problem, each enlargement represents a doubled width. Now, if you enlarge it four times, that means we need to make a progession, where the initial number is three

$3 \times 2=6\\6 \times 2 =12\\12 \times 2=24\\24 \times 2=48$

Therefore, after four enlargements, the width of the photo is 48 centimeters.
