Lydia plans to use a photocopy machine to increase the size of a small chart that she has made as part of her science project. The original chart is 4 inches by 5 inches. If she uses a scale factor of 5:11, will the chart fit on a sheet of 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches? Explain.
-----------------
5:11 is 1:2.2
That will make the chart 8.8 by 11.
That's larger than 8.5 by 11, so it depends on the margins.
