Jen-Min wants to enlarge a 4 inch by 6 inch photo so that the longer side will be forteen inch how long will the shorter side be?
Use a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x
4/6 = x/14
6x = 56
x = 9.333
Well, if Jen-Min wants to enlarge a 4x6 photo to have a longer side of 14 inches, we can do some quick math. Let's see... Carry the two... Subtract the pizza... Ah, got it!
To maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo, we'll need to enlarge both sides proportionally. In this case, the longer side is being enlarged from 6 inches to 14 inches, which is a ratio of 14/6.
Now, to find the length of the shorter side, we can simply multiply the original length of 4 inches by the ratio: 4 inches * (14/6) = 9.33 inches (approximately).
So, the shorter side should be around 9.33 inches. Just keep in mind that your printer might not have decimal inches available, so it's best to round it to the nearest whole number.
To find out the length of the shorter side when the longer side is 14 inches, we need to determine the scale factor by which the photo is being enlarged.
The longer side of the original photo is 6 inches, and the longer side of the enlarged photo is 14 inches.
So the scale factor is obtained by dividing the longer side of the enlarged photo by the longer side of the original photo:
Scale factor = Length of the Longer Side of Enlarged Photo / Length of the Longer Side of Original Photo
Scale factor = 14 inches / 6 inches
Scale factor = 2.3333 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now, to find the length of the shorter side of the enlarged photo, we multiply the scale factor by the length of the shorter side of the original photo:
Length of the Shorter Side of Enlarged Photo = Scale factor x Length of the Shorter Side of Original Photo
Length of the Shorter Side of Enlarged Photo = 2.3333 x 4 inches
Length of the Shorter Side of Enlarged Photo ≈ 9.33 inches (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, the shorter side of the enlarged photo will be approximately 9.33 inches.
To find out how long the shorter side will be when Jen-Min enlarges a 4 inch by 6 inch photo so that the longer side is 14 inches, we can use the concept of proportions.
First, let's set up a proportion to compare the lengths of the longer and shorter sides in both the original and enlarged photos:
Original photo: 4 inches (shorter side) : 6 inches (longer side)
Enlarged photo: x inches (shorter side) : 14 inches (longer side)
We can set up the proportion as:
4 inches / 6 inches = x inches / 14 inches
Now, we need to solve for x. We can do this by cross-multiplying and then dividing:
4 inches × 14 inches = 6 inches × x inches
56 inches = 6x inches
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:
56 inches / 6 = x inches
x = 9.33 inches (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the shorter side will be approximately 9.33 inches when Jen-Min enlarges the photo with a longer side of 14 inches.
