Question 390206: Can you please help me with this?

Van Gogh’s painting Starry Night measures 92 cm long by 73 cm high. You buy a poster that shows an enlargement of the painting. The poster measures 120 cm long by 100 cm high. Is the poster an accurate representation of the painting?

Divide 120 by 92, then multiply the result times 73. If the result is 100 (or very close to 100), then the print is accurate. Otherwise not.
