Accepted Solution
A:
Hello!
From our given picture, we have the dimensions 4 and 6; the length and width. Let's take a look at our question. "What are the dimensions of the image at fraction [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] times its current size?" This question is asking for what would be the dimensions if we set our scale factor as 2:1 (Original to New), so let's divide our dimensions by 2 (or multiply by 0.5 - either works).
6 / 2 = 3 (Width) 4 / 2 = 2 (Length)
Our new dimensions are 3 for the width and 2 for the length.
