Jon’s picture frame is 6 inches high by 5 inches wide. He wants to know what other size frames he can use if he enlarges the photo by using the same relative proportions for length and width.



How can Jon find the sizes of other frames?
Jon can plot the ratio of 5 to 6 on a graph (5, 6), then move up 6 and left 5 to find the next frame size, and then keep the same rate to find other points.
Jon can plot the ratio of 5 to 6 on a graph (5, 6), then move up 6 and right 5 to find the next frame size, and then keep the same rate to find other points.
Jon can plot the ratio of 6 to 5 on a graph (6, 5), then move right 6 and down 5 to find the next frame size, and then keep the same rate to find other points.

Answer:

  Jon can plot the ratio of 5 to 6 on a graph (5, 6), then move up 6 and right 5 to find the next frame size, and then keep the same rate to find other points.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line from the origin to the point (5, 6) has a slope of 6/5. To find other points on the same line, one would need to continue to rise 6 units for each run of 5 units to the right.

The only answer choice that appropriately matches (x, y) values to rise/run values is the one shown above.

Comment on this answer

The slope of the line described in this answer is 6/5, which seems appropriate for a frame that is 6 inches high and 5 inches wide. However, I would call this a plot of the ratio 6 to 5, rather than the ratio 5 to 6.

Answer:

Jon can plot the ratio of 5 to 6 on a graph (5, 6), then move up 6 and right 5 to find the next frame size, and then keep the same rate to find other points.

i hope this helps!
