Answer:

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the height to the width of the frame is constant. So, we can write the following equation:


(Height)/(Width)=\frac{4\text{ in}}{2\text{ in}}=\frac{20\text{ in }}{x}

Where x is the width of the enlarged frame.

So, solving for x, we get:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(2)=(20)/(x) \\ 4(x)=2(20) \\ 4x=40 \\ (4x)/(4)=(40)/(4) \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the frame will be 10 in wide.
