Question

For a baby shower gift, Heather crocheted a baby blanket whose length was 2 feet and whose width was 2 feet. She plans to crochet a proportionally larger similar blanket for the baby's mother. If she wants the length of the mother's blanket to be 6 feet, what should the width be? Show that your answer is reasonable.

Answer 1

The width should be 6 feet because the babies width and height were the same and you said heather just wants it to be proportionally large to the babies so you make the height and width proportionately larger wich is by multiplying it by three and BAM!! you got your answer.

Hope it helps.
