Question

What is the enlargement ratio if you enlarge the figure to have a width of 16 units and length of 12 units

Answer 1

The enlargement ratio is 3:4

Explanation:

We are given

a width of 16 units and length of 12 units

so,

`W=16`

and

`L=12`

now, we can find enlargement ratio

we can use formula

enlargement ratio = (length)/(width)

`=(L)/(W)`

now, we can plug values

`=(12)/(16)`

now, we can simplify it

`=(3)/(4)`

So,

The enlargement ratio is 3:4
