\n" ); document.write( " I was wondering doesn't it already tell you the dimension by saying the paper is 8 1/2 by 11 inches?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The largest dimension can be 11 but you have to maintain the same Length/Width ratio of the original
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = the width of the enlargement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2F3\" = \"11%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "5w = 33
\n" ); document.write( "w = 33/5
\n" ); document.write( "w = 6\"3%2F5\" inches is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The enlargement would be 11 by 6\"3%2F5\" another words
