Question

Allen has a photo that is 6 in by 8 in. What will the dimensions of the photo be if he scales it down by a factor of one-half ?

3 in by 4 in
6 in by 8 in
12 in by 16 in
1.5 in by 2 in

Answer 1

@dtan5457

Answer 2

just divide both sides by 2

Answer 3

soo can you help me?

Answer 4

c?

Answer 5

Since the dimensions are scaled down by a factor of 1/2, that means actually multiplying each dimension by 1/2.

Answer 6

divide by 2, or multiply by 1/2

Answer 7

c?

Answer 8

Answer 9

\[6 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }~~~\text{and}~~~8 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] remember how on the previous question I showed you how to multiply by fractions, numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator where we can treat 6 and 8 as \[6 \implies \frac{ 6 }{ 1 }~~~\text{and}~~~8 \implies \frac{ 8 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 10

sooo??

Answer 11

c?

Answer 12

@geny55 Why do you think its c?

Answer 13

No look, if I have \[\frac{ 5 }{ 1 } \times \frac{ 4 }{ 2 } \implies \frac{ 20 }{ 2 } = 10\] Because first I multiply the numerator which is the top of the fraction and denominator is below the fraction line. Does that make sense?
