Question
A picture that measures 10 cm long is reduced on a copy machine to 4 cm long. If the width of the original picture is 6 cm, what is the width
of the reduced picture? Set up a proportion to solve this problem?
2.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
10/4 = 6/x
x = width of reduced picture
24 = 10x (cross multiplication)
24/10 = x
2.4 = x
The width of the reduced picture is 2.4 cm.
