You are reducing a map of 24 in. by 36 in. to fit onto a piece of paper 8 in. by 10 in. What are the dimensions of the largest possible map that can fit on the page?

Respuesta :

6 in. by 9 in. 24/4=6 and 36/4=9
Since 10 in will be the longer side, to find the shorter did
x/10 = 24/36
x/10 = 2/3
x = 10•(2/3)
x = 6 2/3
So the dimensions are
6 2/3 in by 10 in
