Question

A painting is 2 in tall and 3 in wide. If it is enlarged to a width of 15 in then how tall will it be?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Old proportions:

2 x 3

New proportions

h x 15

Assuming the painting has been increased by a constant scale factor.

Where x is the unknown scale factor, and h is the height after it has been enlarged.

$3 * x = 15\\2 * x = h$

Rearrange second equation:

$3 * x = 15\\x =\frac{h}{2}$

Substitute:

$3*\frac{h}{2} =15\\\frac{h}{2}=5\\h=10$

Answer 2

Answer:

hey!

your answer is

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is this because,

15 inches is 3 inches times by 5

so we would have to times 2 inches by 5 to get 10 inches

so the dimensions would be 10 inches in length and 15 inches in width

hope this helps
