Question

When a photo is reduced or enlarged, its length to width ratio usually remains the same. Aurelia wants to enlarge a 4-inch by 6-inch photo so that it has a width of 15 inches. Use a ratio table to determine the new length of the photo

Answer 1

$\sf \frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{15} \\4(15) = 6x\\6x = 60\\x = 10\\\\So~the~new~dimensions~are~10~inches~by~15~inches$
