Question 717341: Level C
You have designed a picture that is shaped as a square. The
dimensions of your picture are 6 inches by 6 inches. You want
to make it into a poster with dimensions 13 inches by 13
inches. The duplication machine has three settings, one that
reduces the linear measure by a factor of 75%, one that
enlarges linear measure by a factor of 140% and one that just
makes identical copies or applies the factor of 100%. How
many multiple enlargements or reductions will you need to
make in order to create a poster that has its sides 13 inches
long (accurate within five-hundredths)? Explain what setting
was used and how that changed the measurements of the copy
for each step in the process.
