Question

A photograph is reduced to 75% of its original size The photo was originally 12 inches by 16 into what are the new dimensions after it has been reduced to 75%?

Answer 1

I believe it would be 9 by 12 because 3/4 or 75% of 12 is 9 and 3/4 or 75% of 16 is 12.

Answer 2

75% of its original size

12 inches by 16 inches

the new dimensions would be :
0.75 * 12 = 9 inches
0.75 * 16 = 12 inches

9 inches by 12 inches <==
