Question

Henry wants to resize a 10 inch wide by 12 inch long photograph for the school newspaper. It is to fit in a space that is 5 inches wide. What is the length of the resized photograph in inches?

Answer 1

Length times width times height i think

Answer 2

In order for the resized photograph to remain proportional to the original photograph, the sides must be proportional.

You can set up a proportion

(Old length)/(old width) = (new length)/(new width), plug in the original length and width (10 and 12) and the new width (5) and solve for the new length.
