Beth is designing a card.She brings to a print shop a drawing that is 6 inches by 3 inches and asks them to print the card after applying a scale factor of 2/3, when she returns to the print shop they hand her a box of cards each of which is 9 inches by 13 1/2 inches. What error did the print shop make?
