Answer 1

It is given that,

The picture was 30 cm long and 20 cm wide.

And the length of the copy was 15 cm.

To find the width of the copy:

Since, the length of the copy is half the length of the picture.

Therefore, Width of the copy must be half of width of the picture.

Hence, the width of the copy is,

$\frac{20}{2}=10\text{ cm}$

Hence, the answer is 10 cm.
