Question

A photo of a painting measures 13 inches by 17 inches. The scale factor is 1/3. What size is the painting? A. 4.3 x 5.7

Answer 1

Answer:

The new size is  4.3 x 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The photo originally measures

13 inches x  17 inches

If we apply a scale factor of 1/3, this means that we multiply each size by one third

13 inches * (1/3)  = 4.333 in

17 inches * (1/3)  = 5.666 in

If we round up we get

4.3 in

5.7 in

The new size is  4.3 x 5.7
