Question

Cody is a professional nature photographer. He takes a photograph of a spider web and prints a copy. The original dimensions of his copy are 12 inches by 8 inches. Cody wants to email a smaller scale drawing of the original photograph to his friends

Answer 1

. Cody decides to reduce the dimensions of the photograph by half for the email.

The new dimensions of the scaled-down photograph would be:

Length: 12 inches / 2 = 6 inches
Width: 8 inches / 2 = 4 inches

Therefore, the new dimensions of the scaled-down photograph would be 6 inches by 4 inches. Cody can now email this smaller version of the photograph to his friends.
