Answer 1

To find the width of the enlarged photograph, we can use the fact that the scale of enlargement is 1:5. This means that the dimensions of the enlarged photograph will be 5 times larger than the original photograph.

If the original photograph is 6 inches wide, then the width of the enlarged photograph will be:

6 inches x 5 = 30 inches

Therefore, the answer is A) 30 in.
