To determine a smaller scale drawing of the original printed photograph (12 inches by 8 inches), we need to find dimensions that maintain the same aspect ratio but are smaller than the original dimensions.
The aspect ratio of the original photograph is 12:8, which simplifies to 3:2.
Let's evaluate the options provided:
-
3 inches by 2 inches: This maintains the ratio (3:2) and is smaller than the original dimensions. This option is valid.
-
10 inches by 6 inches: This also maintains the ratio (3:2) and is smaller than the original dimensions. This option is valid.
-
24 inches by 16 inches: This also maintains the ratio (3:2) but is larger than the original dimensions. This option is not valid.
-
3 inches by 4 inches: This has a ratio of 3:4, which does not match the original aspect ratio of 3:2. This option is not valid.
The valid smaller scale drawings of the original printed photograph are:
- 3 inches by 2 inches
- 10 inches by 6 inches
Thus, the correct responses are 3 inches by 2 inches and 10 inches by 6 inches.
