A photocopy was made of Julie's watercolor painting. the photocopy resized the painting so that it measured 4 inches wide by 7 inches long. If the actual painting is 16 inches wide, what is the length?

28 inches

thank you so much Frank!!

Np

so its right????? ok then ill see -_-

3 years later....... did you ever check???

no one knows

connor and frank fell in love.

28 is correct

To find the length of Julie's watercolor painting, we can use the concept of ratios.

We are given that the photocopy of the painting measures 4 inches wide by 7 inches long. Let's represent the width and length of the actual painting as "x" and "y," respectively.

We can set up a ratio between the width and length of the actual painting and the photocopy:

Width ratio: x / 4
Length ratio: y / 7

Since we know the actual width of the painting is 16 inches, we can write:

x / 4 = 16 / 4

Simplifying:

x / 4 = 4

Multiplying both sides by 4:

x = 16

Therefore, the actual width of Julie's painting is 16 inches.

Now, to find the length, we can use the length ratio:

y / 7 = 16 / 4

Simplifying:

y / 7 = 4

Multiplying both sides by 7:

y = 28

Therefore, the length of Julie's watercolor painting is 28 inches.
