Question

A picture of a school’s mascot is 18 in. wide and 24 in. long. It is enlarged proportionally to banner size. If the width is enlarged to 63 in., what is the length of the banner?
a.
84 in.
c.
12.5 in.
b.
18 in.
d.
6.5 in.

Answer 1

18/24 = 63/x...18 width to 24 length = 63 width to x length
cross multiply
(18)(x) = (24)(63)
18x = 1512
x = 1512/18
x = 84 inches <===
