Answer:

B. 24 inches by 30 inches

Explanation:

Since the poser is similar to a rectangle measuring 8 in. by 10 in., we have to find which solution has the same proportions.

When simplified, 8/10 = 4/5. That is our proportion.

A) 2/2 does not equal 4/5

B) 24/30 (when simplified) = 4/5

B is our right answer because when 8 is multiplied by 3, you get 24 and when 10 is multiplied by 3 as well (both multiplied by the same number to keep the proportions the same) you will get 30.
