Totsakan enlared the size of a photo to a height of 18in. What is the new width if it was originally in inch tall and 1in wide
To solve the given problem, we need to find the value of 'b' when it is divided by 15 and the result is equal to 6 divided by 10.
To solve for 'b', we can set up the following equation:
b/15 = 6/10
To isolate 'b', we can cross-multiply the equation:
10b = 15 * 6
Now, we can solve for 'b' by dividing both sides of the equation by 10:
b = (15 * 6) / 10
Calculating the numerator (15 * 6):
b = 90 / 10
Finally, dividing 90 by 10:
b = 9
Therefore, the value of 'b' that satisfies the given condition is 9.
