Alexia designed a logo 2 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall to be used on her school's notebooks. The school wants the logo on the notebook to be 8 inches wide. How tall, in inches, will it be if it is enlarged proportionately

If the original logo is 2 inches wide and the logo has to be 8 inches wide, then the new logo will be 4 times larger. Therefore, we have to multiply 1.5 by 4 to get our new height.

1.5 x 4 = 6 inches tall.

Hope this helped!
