you want to draw an enlargement of a design that is printed on a card that is 5 in by 6 in. you will be drawing this design on a piece of paper that is 8 1/2 by 11 in. what are the dimensions of the largest complete enlargement that you can make?
To find the dimensions of the largest complete enlargement that can be made, we need to determine the scale factor between the original card and the piece of paper.
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the dimensions of the piece of paper by the dimensions of the card:
Scale factor = (8 1/2 in) / (5 in) = 1.7
Now, we need to multiply the dimensions of the original card by the scale factor to determine the dimensions of the enlargement:
Length of enlargement = 5 in * 1.7 = 8.5 in
Width of enlargement = 6 in * 1.7 = 10.2 in
Therefore, the largest complete enlargement that can be made on a piece of paper that is 8 1/2 by 11 in is approximately 8.5 inches by 10.2 inches.
