Question

Curtis is buying a figurine that is 5 inches high according to the box. The picture on the box is 8 centimeters high and 6 centimeters wide. What proportion could you use to determine the width of the figurine?

Answer 1

i got this 5/8 = 6/ w, but is it correct

Answer 2

You can do width/height = width/height e.g. w/5 = 6/8
or
width/width = height/height e.g. w/6 = 5/8
but you have to be careful you have
height inches/ height cm = width cm/width inches

it should be height inches/ height cm = width inches/width cm

Answer 3

inches over cm = inches over cm

Answer 4

so is it correct

Answer 5

so its 5/8 = w/6

Answer 6

or 8/5 = 6/w both are correct right?

Answer 7

you wrote
\[ \frac{\text{ 5 inches high }}{\text{8 centimeters high }} = \frac{\text{ 6 centimeters wide}}{\text{w inches wide}}\]

so it does not look like a good ratio
