Question

The photo printed has length of 6 imams width of 4. A smaller picture is printed the ratio of the new picture to the size of the first picture is 1.5 to 2. What's the length and width of the new picture?

Answer 1

we know the width of the first picture, is 4
we know the ratio from smaller to larger is 1.5:2

thus
`\bf \cfrac{\textit{width of small}}{\textit{width of large}}\qquad 1.5:2\implies \cfrac{1.5}{2}=\cfrac{w}{4}`

solve for "w".

we know the length of the first picture, 6


`\bf \cfrac{\textit{length of small}}{\textit{length of large}}\qquad 1.5:2\implies \cfrac{1.5}{2}=\cfrac{L}{6}`

solve for "L".
