Question 1076499: Francine has a picture whose length is 4/3 its width. She wants to enlarge the picture to have an area of 192 in2. What will the dimensions of the enlarged picture be? Model the scenario and solve. Then, explain in at least one sentence your solution and include the reasonableness of your solution. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let w be the width of the picture. Then its length would be 4w/3. So:
w*4w/3=192
4w²/3=192
w²=3/4 * 192=144
w=+/- 12 in.
If the width is 12 in., then the length is 16 in. So your picture is 12x16 ins. ☺☺☺☺
