B. 5 3/4
C. 6 3/4
D. 8 3/4
I think it's D
I multiplied 5/1 x 7/4= 35/4 = 8 3/4
You are correct.
To find the width of the enlarged photograph, you can multiply the original size by the enlargement factor.
The enlargement factor is given as 1 3/4, which can be written as the mixed number 7/4.
Multiply the original width of 5 inches by the enlargement factor of 7/4:
5 inches x 7/4 = 35/4 inches
The result can be simplified to 8 3/4 inches.
Therefore, the width of the enlarged photograph is 8 3/4 inches.
So your answer of D) 8 3/4 is correct.
To find the width of the enlarged photograph, you need to multiply the original width by the enlargement factor.
In this case, the enlargement factor is 1 3/4, which can also be written as 7/4. The original width of the photograph is given as 5 inches.
To find the width of the enlarged photograph, you can multiply 5 by 7/4:
5 x 7/4 = 35/4
The width of the enlarged photograph is 35/4 inches, which can be simplified as 8 3/4.
So, your answer D is correct. The width of the enlarged photograph is 8 3/4 inches.
