Question

A photo is 6 inches long. Kamala enlarged the photo so that it is twelve inches long. By keeping the same proportion of the photo, what would be the width of the photo if the enlarged photo is 8 inches wide?

Does this relationship represent direct or inverse variation? (1 point)

Using the appropriate formula, find k. (1 point)

Show your work and calculate the width of the original photo. (2 points)

Answer 1

ok so 12/8

Answer 2

Let the he width of the photo be x inches
therefore;
\[\frac{6}{12}=\frac{x}{8} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{8} \rightarrow 2x =8 \rightarrow x=4\]
Hence the width of the original is 4 inches.
