Question

you want to draw an enlargement of a design that is printed on a card that is 4in by 5in. you will be drawing this design on an piece of paper that is 8 1/2in by 11in. what are the dimensions of the largest complete enlargement you can make?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5 inch × 10.625 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the dimensions of the card are 4 inch × 5 inch.

Also, the dimensions of the paper are $8\frac{1}{2}\times 11$ i.e. 8.5 inch × 11 inch.

Now, the possible enlargement in the sides are given by,

$\frac{8.5}{4}=2.125$

$\frac{11}{5}=2.2$

So, the maximum enlargement possible is 2.125x, where x represents the values of the dimensions of the cards.

Thus, the maximum enlargement possible is 2.125 × 4 = 8.5 and 2.125 × 5 =10.625.

Hence, the dimensions of the largest enlargement possible are 8.5 inch × 10.625 inch.

Answer 2

The answer is 1-3/5 in. by 10-5/8 in.
