Question

Marian wants to enlarge a picture she took that is 4 inches by 7.5 inches. She wants it to fit perfectly into a frame that is 400% of the original size.

What will be the dimensions of the new enlarged photo?

Answer 1

400% means the picture will be 4 times the original size.

Multiply each dimension by 4:

4 x 4 = 16

4 x 7.5 = 30

The new dimension will be 16 inches by 30 inches.
