Question

Allen has a photo that is 6 in by 8 in. What will the dimensions of the photo be if he scales it down by a factor of one-half ?

1. 3 in by 4 in
2. 6 in by 8 in
3. 12 in by 16 in
4. 1.5 in by 2 in

Answer 1

it would be 3 inches by four inches. answer is 1. 3 in by 4 in.

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

one-half = divide by 2

All you have to do is divide the dimensions by 2

6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4

The dimensions are 3 in by 4 in ⇒ 1

Hope this helps :)
