Franks dog Fido is 16 inches tall and 30 inches long. Frank wants to draw Fido 4 inches tall. Frank figures that because Fidos height in the drawing will be 12 inches less than Fidos actual height( because 16-12=4), Fido's length in the drawing should also be 12 inches less than Fido's actual length. Therefore, Frank figures that he should draw Fido 30-12=18 inches long. Will the drawing of Fido be correctly proportioned if Frank makes it 18 inches long? If not, how long should Frank draw Fido? Explain
