When a photo is reduced or enlarged, its length to width ratio usually remains the same. Sarah wants to enlarge a 4in.by 6in. photo so that it has a width of 15in.Use a ratio table to determine the new length of the photo.
length 4 ? ?
width 6 ? ?
4/15 = 6/x
If the length is 4, then the ration is
4/x = 6/15
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!
You're welcome, Regan.
if the length is 4 then the ratio is
4/x = 6/15
To determine the new length of the photo when it is enlarged to a width of 15 inches, we can use a ratio table.
Start by writing down the given values:
Length: 4 inches
Width: 6 inches
Next, calculate the ratio between the length and width by dividing the length by the width:
Ratio = Length ÷ Width = 4 ÷ 6 = 2/3
Now we can use this ratio to determine the new length of the enlarged photo. Since the width will be increased to 15 inches, we need to find the corresponding length.
To do this, multiply the width (15 inches) by the ratio:
Length = Width × Ratio
Length = 15 inches × 2/3
Calculating the expression:
Length = (15 × 2) ÷ 3
Length = 30 ÷ 3
Length = 10 inches
Therefore, when the photo is enlarged to a width of 15 inches, the new length will be 10 inches.
