Aurelia wants to enlarge a 4 by 6 photo so that it has a width of 15 use a ratio tabke to determine the new length of the photo
Of the 4 by 6, which is the width?
L/W = NL/15
Enter L and W and solve for new length (NL).
I'm in the 6th grade and I can't figure out the problem number 14 I know the answer but I don't know how to do the work can you help me it's so hard
To determine the new length of the photo, we can use a ratio table. A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. In this case, we are comparing the original dimensions of the photo (4 by 6) to the new dimensions (15 by x).
We can set up a ratio table by comparing the width and the length of the original and new photos:
Original Photo: 4 x 6
New Photo: 15 x ?
Let's find the ratio of the width between the original and new photos:
Original Width: 4
New Width: 15
To find the ratio, we divide the new width by the original width:
15 / 4 = 3.75
This means that the new width is 3.75 times larger than the original width.
Next, let's find the ratio of the length. Since we don't know the new length yet, we can call it "x" for now:
Original Length: 6
New Length: x
To find the ratio, we divide the new length by the original length:
x / 6 = 3.75
Cross-multiplying gives us:
x = 3.75 * 6
x = 22.5
Therefore, the new length of the photo will be 22.5 units.
