Question

Julie is photocopying a letter. The original letter was 8 in wide and 11 in. long. The new copy is 12 in. wide. How long is the new copy of the letter?

Answer 1

It would be 16.5 inches long.
First you have to divide 11 by 8 (1.375) to get how long would the letter be if it was 1 inch wide. Then multiply 1.375 by 12 which is 16.5.
