Emma created the poster shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 36 cm, and the width is labeled as width equal to 24 cm. What would be the dimensions of the poster at fraction 1 over 4 times its current size?

Answer 1

If we want to decrease the dimensions of the poster by a factor of 1/4, we need to multiply both the length and width by 1/4.

New length = 36 cm * 1/4 = 9 cm
New width = 24 cm * 1/4 = 6 cm

Therefore, the new dimensions of the poster at 1/4 times its current size would be 9 cm by 6 cm.
