Answer: C) 98 inches

=====================================================

There are two ways to find the answer

-----------------------

Method 1

Multiply the length and width by the scale factor

10*3.5 = 35

4*3.5 = 14

The new larger rectangle is 35 inches by 14 inches

Add up the four sides: 35+14+35+14 = 98

The perimeter of the larger rectangle is 98 inches

-----------------------

Method 2

We can use the formula P = 2(L+W) to get the perimeter of the original rectangle

P = 2(10+4)

P = 2*14

P = 28

The original rectangle has perimeter 28 inches.

Or you could note how 10+4+10+4 = 28

Multiply this with the scale factor to get 28*3.5 = 98 inches
