When converting English phrases into mathematical expressions/equations, we do things from left to right. That is why it's 4 - 20 instead of 20 - 4.

This rule is applied to division as well.

inn [45]

Answer: 168 inches.

Explanation:

First thing you must always do when solving word problems is read closely, and take note of any number.

In this case, the first thing we must do is find the scale factor.

For this, we use one of the dimensions. We will use the width of the photo.

We have then:

k = 132/11

k = 12

Then, we look for the value of the height of the new photo. To do this, we multiply the scale factor by the original dimension.

We have then:

14k = 14 (12) = 168

Thus, 168 inches is your answer! :)

Hope this helps! :)
