Question

Please help thanks very much

Answer 1

When solving this problem, we cannot let the width of the enlarged picture exceed the width of the paper nor can we let the length of the enlarged picture exceed the length of the paper.

Let's try multiplying the design dimensions by 11/5 to make the length of the enlarged picture match with the length of the paper. We get the following.


`8 (4)/(5)` by 11

Uh oh. The width is too large. Thus, matching the lengths will not work. Let's try matching the widths of the paper and the enlarged design. To do so, let's multiply the dimensions by 17/8 (or 8.5/4)


`8 (1)/(2)` by
`10 (5)/(8)`

None of the dimensions exceed the dimensions of the paper. Thus, these dimensions will work. The last choice is your answer.
