Mario reduced a picture that is 10 inches long by 8 inches wide using a photocopier. the reduced picture is now 6 inches long. by what scale factor did the photocopier reduce the picture?

a) 3/5
b) 3/4
c) 4/3
d) 5/3

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
