Answer:

6 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First Photograph

Length:Width = 24:18

Second Photograph

Let the unknown width =x

Length:Width = 8:x

Since the proportions of the two photographs are the same

[tex]8:x=24:18\\\\\dfrac{8}{x}= \dfrac{24}{18}\\\\24x=8 \times 18\\\\x=(8 \times 18) \div 24\\\\x=6$ inches[/tex]

The width of the photograph is 6 inches.
