how did u get that
To find a smaller scale drawing of the original photograph, you would need to reduce the dimensions proportionally.
Since the original dimensions are 12 inches by 8 inches, you need to reduce both dimensions by the same factor to maintain the same aspect ratio.
For example, if you want to reduce the dimensions by a factor of 4, you would divide the original dimensions by 4 to get the new dimensions: 12/4 = 3 and 8/4 = 2.
So the correct smaller scale drawing of the original printed photograph would be 3 inches by 2 inches.
