Math Problem Statement
A photo 5 inches wide and 8 inches long is enlarged. Find the length of the new photo for each width: 10 inches, 15 inches, 8 inches.
Solution
Let's solve this step by step.
The original dimensions of the photo are:
- Width: 5 inches
- Length: 8 inches
The photo is being enlarged, so we assume the aspect ratio remains the same. The aspect ratio is the ratio of width to length: [ \text{Aspect Ratio} = \frac{\text{Width}}{\text{Length}} = \frac{5}{8}
