Answer:

The new enlarged photo will be 16 in by 30 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the original photo are 4 in and 7.5 in

The photo will be enlarged by 400% of its original size

This means that:

new dimension = 400% * old dimension

Applying this to the given dimensions:

New length = 400% * 4

New length = 4 * 4 = 16 in

New width = 400% * 7.5

New width = 4 * 7.5 = 30 in

Hope this helps :)
