You want to draw an enlargement of a design that is printed on a card that is 5in by 6in. 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?
1. 1 & 3/5in by 4 & 3/8 in
2. 8 & 1/2in by 10 & 5/8
3. 8 & 1/2in by 10 & 1/5
4. 1 & 3/8in by 4 & 3/5 in
To find the largest complete enlargement that can be made on the paper, we need to compare the dimensions of the card and the paper.
The card dimensions are 5in by 6in.
The paper dimensions are 8 1/2in by 11in.
Since the card is smaller than the paper, it can fit within the paper without any cropping.
Therefore, the largest complete enlargement that can be made is the same size as the paper itself, which is 8 1/2in by 11in.
So, the correct answer is 2. 8 & 1/2in by 10 & 5/8.
