Mona needs to photocopy a 14.5 centimeters wide by 15 centimeters long picture. She wants to enlarge the picture so that its length will be 37.5 centimeters. How wide will the enlarged picture be?
O a
38.8 cm
Ob
37 cm
ос
93.75 cm
Od
36.25 cm

The enlarged picture will have a width of 35.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question by proportions, using rule of three.

When the length is of 15 centimeters, the width will be of 14.5 centimeters. What is the width when the length is 37 centimeters?

15 cm - 14.5 cm

37 cm - x

Applying cross multiplication

The enlarged picture will have a width of 35.8 cm

d

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
