Question

PLEASE???


I dont understand how to do this equation. Can anyone help me through it? 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? What kind of relationship is this? Identify the variables. Show your work and answer the original question.

Answer 1

It's a proportion.\[\frac{ 6 }{ x }=\frac{ 12 }{ 8}\]

Answer 2

cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer 3

oooooh ok

Answer 4

so 6 x 8 = 48 then what would you multiply by the 12?

Answer 5

x

Answer 6

so it would look like
12x=48

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

Now, divide both sides by 12

Answer 9

k once second

What are your variables?
What is the constant of variation?
Write the inverse relationship to the scenario.

My ans.
A scenario that would involve an inverse relationship would be If I took a trip somewhere and my variables will be the distance driven..d and the amount of gas used to get to my destination....g. My constant variation would be the distance driven.
