A video screen is 16 in. by 12 in. tall. What is the width of the largest complete image possible for a photograph that is 8 in. wide by 10 in. tall?
6.4 in.
9.6 in.
5.3 in.
8.5 in.
The largest complete image that can fit on the video screen would be one that is the same height as the screen and has a width that is the same proportion to the height as the photograph (8 in. wide by 10 in. tall).
To find the width of the largest complete image, we can set up a proportion:
Width of the largest complete image / Height of the largest complete image = Width of the photograph / Height of the photograph
Let x be the width of the largest complete image:
x / 12 in = 8 in / 10 in
x = 12 in * (8 in / 10 in) = 9.6 in
Therefore, the width of the largest complete image possible for the photograph is 9.6 in.
So, the answer is:
B) 9.6 in.
Soo uhh your sure
Let's go through the calculations again:
Height of the video screen = 12 in.
Height of the photograph = 10 in.
Width of the photograph = 8 in.
To find the width of the largest complete image that can fit on the video screen, we can set up a proportion:
Width of the largest complete image / Height of the largest complete image = Width of the photograph / Height of the photograph
Let x be the width of the largest complete image:
x / 12 in = 8 in / 10 in
Cross-multiply:
10x = 12 * 8
10x = 96
x = 96 / 10
x = 9.6 in
Therefore, the width of the largest complete image possible for the photograph is actually 9.6 in.
So, the correct answer is:
B) 9.6 in.
ARE YOU SURE
Let's verify the calculations one more time:
Height of the video screen = 12 in.
Height of the photograph = 10 in.
Width of the photograph = 8 in.
To find the width of the largest complete image that can fit on the video screen, we can set up a proportion:
Width of the largest complete image / Height of the largest complete image = Width of the photograph / Height of the photograph
Let x be the width of the largest complete image:
x / 12 in = 8 in / 10 in
Cross multiply:
10x = 12 * 8
10x = 96
x = 96 / 10
x = 9.6 in
Therefore, the width of the largest complete image possible for the photograph is indeed 9.6 in.
Yes, I'm sure that the correct answer is:
B) 9.6 in.
