Answer 1

The question is not clearly stated, below is the clearly stated question and answer:

A customer wants you to enlarge a photo to 2 3/4 its current height. The photo’s current height is 3 1/4 inches. What should its enlarged height be, in inches?

Answer:

`Enlarged\ height = 8(15)/(16)\ inches`

Explanation:

`current\ height\ =\ 3(1)/(4) = (13)/(4) \\ magnification\ factor = 2(3)/(4) = (11)/(4) \\Magnification (enlargement)\ =\ (magnification\ factor) * (current\ height)\\Magnification\ =\ (11)/(4) * (13)/(4)\\ Magnification\ =\ (143)/(16)`

Next, we will concert from the improper fraction to a mixed fraction:

when 143 is divided by 16, there will be 8 whole numbers and a remainder of 15, hence, the mixed fraction is:

`(143)/(16) = 8(15)/(16)` (Alternatively, a scientific calculator can be used)

Therefore, enlarged height
`= 8(15)/(16)\ inches`
