The publishing deadline for the winter edition of the newspaper was approching, and Samuel and Tammy were arguing about multipliers. Samuel thought that to enlarge the 3 by 5 to a 6 by 10, they should multiply be 6/3. Tammy was sure that they should multiply by 10/5 Justin said it would be much simpler just to multiply each side by 2. Which student’s method will work? Explain how you know.

All the students' methods will work.
6/3 = 10/5 = 2

They all result in multiplication by a factor of 2.
