Answer: 6 by 10 inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Nash is making a framed enlargement of a Mary Cassatt postage stamp to present to a retired postmaster.

The scale of enlargement is 2 inches to 1 centimeter.

The actual length of the stamp = 3 centimeters

The length of frame = \(2\times3=6\ inches\)

The actual width of the stamp = 5 centimeters

The width of frame = \(2\times5=10\ inches\)

Thus, the dimension fo the scale picture is 6 by 10 inches
