Question

you are enlarging a photo on your computer screen. the photo starts at 3 centimeters wide. each time you enlarge the photo, its width is doubled. you enlarge the photo four times. what is the width of the photo on your screen?

Answer 1

The final width of the photo is 48 centimeters.

Explanation:

Givens:

• The initial width is 3 centimeters.
• When you enlarge the photo, its width doubled.
• You enlarge the photo four times.

According to the problem, each enlargement represents a doubled width. Now, if you enlarge it four times, that means we need to make a progession, where the initial number is three

`3 * 2=6\\6 * 2 =12\\12 * 2=24\\24 * 2=48`

Therefore, after four enlargements, the width of the photo is 48 centimeters.
