Question 118338This question is from textbook
: Samantha had a snapshot that is 3.75 inches wide and 6.5 inches high. She cut a strip off of the top of the snapshot so that an enlargement will fit into a frame that measures 5 inches by 8 inches. What were the dimensions of the strip that she cut off of the original snapshot? This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the strip is taken of the top, then the width remains
the same and the height is less
Let = the new height after the strip is cut off.
After enlarging the photo will still have the same
relative proportions, so
So the cropped photo is 3.75 x 6
.5 inches must have been cut of the top.
The strip cut off is .5 x 3.75 answer
