Solve the following problem using cross-multiplication. Ja’Quin draws a picture of a horse that measures 7 inches by 4 inches. He increases the size of the picture on a photocopier so that its new width is 6 inches. What is the new length of the picture? Round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the new length of the picture, we can set up a proportion using the cross-multiplication method.

Original width: 7 inches
Original length: 4 inches

New width: 6 inches
New length: x inches

7/4 = 6/x

Cross-multiplying:
7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7:
x = 24/7 ≈ 3.4 inches

So, the new length of the picture is approximately 3.4 inches.

Answer 2

wrong bud

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

Original width: 7 inches
Original length: 4 inches

New width: 6 inches
New length: x inches

Using the cross-multiplication method:
7/4 = 6/x

Cross-multiplying:
7x = 4 * 6
7x = 24

Now, divide both sides by 7:
x = 24 / 7
x ≈ 3.4 inches

Therefore, the new length of the picture is approximately 3.4 inches.

Answer 4

use one of the following: 1.5, 1.2, 10.5, 42.0

Answer 5

To find the new length of the picture, we can set up a proportion using the cross-multiplication method.

Original width: 7 inches
Original length: 4 inches

New width: 6 inches
New length: x inches

7/4 = 6/x

Cross-multiply:
7x = 24

Solve for x:
x = 24/7
x ≈ 3.4

Therefore, the new length of the picture is approximately 3.4 inches. Round to the nearest tenth gives 3.4 as the final answer.
