First divide the enlarged width by the original width
36 / 8 = 4.5
Now multiply that by the original length
10 x 4.5 = 45

Answer is 45

This has to do with ratios. If the current width is 8 inches and he wants to have it 35in, you must multiply the length by the same amount to keep it proportional.
