The correct option will be:   Rectangle C (Width= 6 and Length= 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the length of the original photograph is inches and width is inches.

Hiroto reduces the photograph by 0.5 by scanning it onto his computer.

So, the length of the scanned image inches and width inches.

Given that, the length and width of the image on the screen are 5 inches and 3 inches respectively. That means.........

So, the rectangle represents the original photograph, which has width as 6 inches and length as 10 inches.

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original size of the photograph be x by y.

It is given that Hiroto reduces a rectangular photograph by 0.5 by scanning it onto his computer.

The new size of the photograph is 0.5x by 0.5y.

It is given that the image on the screen measures 3 inches by 5 inches.

Divide both sides by 0.5.

Divide both sides by 0.5.

Therefore the original size of the photograph is 6 by 10. Option C is correct.
