Respuesta :

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of the photo is given by

[tex]20\ in.\ by\ 24\ in.[/tex]

According to question, the photo is reduced so that the longer dimension is 15 inch.

So, Let the width of the reduced photo be x.

So, it becomes,

[tex]\frac{20}{x}=\frac{24}{15}\\\\x=\frac{15\times 20}{24}\\\\x=12.5\ in.[/tex]

So, the width of the reduced photo is 12.5 inch.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
