Arjun reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 4 in. What is the new width if it was originally 8 in tall and 6 in wide?

As you must decrease it proportionally, the new width would be 3. This is because the scale factor is 2, and you are reducing it. So, you divide the 6 by two, which is three.As you must decrease it proportionally, the new width would be 3. This is because the scale factor is 2, and you are reducing it.
