The width of a similar photo comes to be 2 inches.

Width of original photo = 4 inches

Height of the original photo = 6 inches

Height of the scaled photo = 3 inches

What is the scale factor?

A scale factor is a number that multiplies (“scales”) a quantity.

Scale factor = height of scaled photo/ height of the original photo

Scale factor= 3/6 = 1/2

So, the width of the scaled photo = scale factor * width of the original photo

The width of the scaled photo = (1/2)*4

The width of the scaled photo =2 inches.

Therefore, the width of a similar photo comes to be 2 inches.
