Answer 2

This is geometry correct?

Answer 3

The first frame of the picture is 30 cm long.
He wants the frame of the 2nd one to be 18 cm long.

Answer 4

You will have to use the scale factor to find the 2nd picture width.

Answer 5

30 cm/18cm is equal to 10/6

Answer 6

Since you're trying to make it smaller, the scale factor is 6/10

Answer 7

ITS 6/10 ?

Answer 8

sorry for the caps :P

Answer 9

That's not the width, that's what you're going to multiply the width of the 1st picture by.

Answer 10

the 1st picture is 24 cm wide. So it'll be 24(6/10)

Answer 11

Solve that equation and you should have the width of the 2nd picture.

14.4, if it was 14.0 you would just put 14. Or if it said round to the nearest ones.
