Help please...! Sara created the poster shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 28 cm, and the width is labeled as width equal to 32 cm. What would be the dimensions of the poster at fraction 1 over 4 times its current size? Length = 7 cm, width = 8 cm Length = 24 cm, width = 28 cm Length = 32 cm, width = 36 cm Length = 112 cm, width = 128 cm

|dw:1447253948978:dw| At a quarter of that *the 1/4 of its size* we would have each number divided by 4...so OHHH you know!!!! lol

You can mark out some choices as well. If someTHINg i 1/4 the size of another thing, that would mean that 1st something would be smaller, correct?

but it says|dw:1447254018534:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 1 over 4 times its current size? does that mean like doubling it?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

If new length is 1/4 of the original size, that means it would be 1/4 smaller, or 25% smaller

sammixboo (sammixboo):

So we can either divide the length and width by 4, or multiply it by 1/4 (or 0.25) and we will get the ame answer either way.
