Answer:

First we need to set a proportion

Currently the negative measures 15 inches by 2 inches. And the longer dimension of the printed version is 4 inches. Therefore:

[tex]\frac{2}{y} = \frac{15}{4}[/tex]

[tex]15y = 8[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.5333[/tex]

Therefore, the dimension of the shorter dimension is 0.5333.
