Question

Mona needs to photocopy a 14.5 centimeters wide by 15 centimeters long picture. She wants to enlarge the picture so that its length will be 45 centimeters. How wide will the enlarged picture be? 46.6 cm 43.5 cm 135 cm 44.5 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

43.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The original photocopy's length is 15 cm. If Mona enlarges the photo's length to be 45 cm, we would need to find how much 15 is multiplied by to get 45, so that we can multiply 14.5, the width, by the same amount.

45/15 = 3

14.5 * 3 = 43.5 cm
