If the width(x) of an object is 3 and the length(y) is 4 on a chart, then what would be the length(y) of an object if the width(x) is 1?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let y = the new width
\n" ); document.write( "write a proportion equation: width:length
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\" = \"1%2Fy\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 4*1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1\"1%2F3\" is the new width
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
