Question

7. A photograph negative measures 15 inches by

2- inches. The printed picture is to have its
longer dimension be 4 inches. How long should
the shorter dimension be?
(A) 2
(B) 3”
(C)35"
(D) 32»

Answer 1

First we need to set a proportion

Currently the negative measures 15 inches by 2 inches. And the longer dimension of the printed version is 4 inches. Therefore:

`(2)/(y) = (15)/(4)`

`15y = 8`

`y = 0.5333`

Therefore, the dimension of the shorter dimension is 0.5333.

None of the options matches this response, so maybe you forgot to add some information?
