Question

3) Larry is creating a mural from a photograph he took while on vacation. He has
decided that every 1.5 inch of the photo will equal 6 inches in his mural. If the
photograph is cropped to be 8 inches wide, how wide will the mural be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mural will be 32 inches wide.

Explanation:

Since Larry is creating a mural from a photograph he took while on vacation, and he has decided that every 1.5 inch of the photo will equal 6 inches in his mural, if the photograph is cropped to be 8 inches wide, to determine how wide will the mural be the following calculation must be performed:

6 / 1.5 = 4

8 / 1.5 = 5.333 x 4 = 32

Therefore, the mural will be 32 inches wide.
