Jason considered two similar televisions at a local electronics store. The generic version was based on the brand name and was three fourths the size of the brand name. If the generic television set is 12 inches by 24 inches, what are the dimensions of the brand name television?

Answer: The dimensions of brand name will be

16 inches by 32 inches.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of generic version is given by


12\text{ inches }* 24\text{ inches }

Since we have also given that


Generic=(3)/(4)* \text{brand }

So, we first use the 12 inches


12=(3)/(4)* \text{ brand}\\\\12* (4)/(3)=brand\\\\16\text{ inches}=brand

Similarly,

if we now use the dimension 24 inches


24=(3)/(4)* \text{ brand}\\\\24* (4)/(3)=brand\\\\32\text{ inches}=brand

so, the dimensions of brand name will be

16 inches by 32 inches.
