Answer:
The width of the new phone will be 4.37 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportions
A direct proportion is a relation between variables where their ratio is a constant value.
The original length of a cell phone was L=1.2 inches and the original width was 4.6 inches.
A new version of the cell phone is to be released with proportional dimensions with respect to the original cell phone.
We are given the length of the new phone L'=1.14 inches. The ratio of the lengths is 1,2/1.14=1.053.
The new width should be W'=4.6/1.053=4.37 inches
The width of the new phone will be 4.37 inches
