A photographer wants to print a photograph and two smaller copies on the same rectangular sheet of paper. The photograph is 4 inches wide and 6 inches high.
For each rectangular arrangment you crate:
1) Find the measurements of the small photographs for each arrangement. Show your calculations and explain how you figured it out.
2) Find the size of the sheet of paper for each arrangement.
3) Looking at only the smaller copies of the photos, are the areas the same? Justify it.
4) Is the ratio of the area of one small photo to the entire sheet of paper the same for both diagrams? Explain how you know.
