Question 35584
Erin wants to reduce both the length and width of a picture by 1/3. If the original picture is 12 inches by 6 inches, what will be the dimension, in inches, of the reduces picture? 
a. 18 by 9
b. 12 by 4
c. 9 by 4
d. 8 by 6
e. 8 by 4

Erin  reducing the length and the width by 1/3.
So she will still have 2/3 of the length and 2/3 of the width.
(2/3)12= 8 inches
(2/3)6 = 4 inches
Cheers,
