Given :
Width of photo = 1 inch
Height of photo = 3 inch
Now, when enlargerd height of photo becomes 18 inch.
We know, enlargement ratio of width of photo will be similar to height of photo. So, first we have to find the ratio
18/3 = 6 : 1
So, height of photo is enlarged in 6:1. That means,
New Width = 1 × 6
= 6 inch
Thus, width of the photo will be 6 inch.
