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:
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.
