just divide each by 4 what do you get..?

anonymous · Answer

4 and 3

campbell_st · Answer

well it depends.... but you have the right numbers


Original to image   it 3/4    since the image is smaller.... that is going left to right

if you go right to left its 4/3  the left is larger... 

so for me I'd use 3/4

anonymous · Answer
