    PIcture links won't show any more on Yahoo. Sorry.

    Tim has a picture frame that is 30 cm long and 24 cm wide. He wants to make a picture frame that is similar in shape but is 18 cm long.

    How wide should this second picture frame be?

    30/24 = 18/x

    crossmultiply

    30x = 432

    x= 432/30 = 14.4 Correct! :)
