Question 720330
you want to draw an enlargement of a design that is painted on a 3in by 5in card.
 You plan to draw on an 8 1/2in by 11inch piece of paper. What are the dimensions of the largest complete enlargement you can draw?
 I was wondering doesn't it already tell you the dimension by saying the paper is 8 1/2 by 11 inches? 
:
The largest dimension can be 11 but you have to maintain the same Length/Width ratio of the original
:
Let w = the width of the enlargement
:
{{{w/3}}} = {{{11/5}}}
cross multiply
5w = 33
w = 33/5
w = 6{{{3/5}}} inches is the width
:
The enlargement would be 11 by 6{{{3/5}}} another words
