Answer:
The question is not clearly stated, below is the clearly stated question and answer:
A customer wants you to enlarge a photo to 2 3/4 its current height. The photo’s current height is 3 1/4 inches. What should its enlarged height be, in inches?
Answer:
[tex]Enlarged\ height = 8\frac{15}{16}\ inches[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]current\ height\ =\ 3\frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \\ magnification\ factor = 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \\Magnification (enlargement)\ =\ (magnification\ factor) \times (current\ height)\\Magnification\ =\ \frac{11}{4} \times \frac{13}{4}\\ Magnification\ =\ \frac{143}{16}[/tex]
Next, we will concert from the improper fraction to a mixed fraction:
when 143 is divided by 16, there will be 8 whole numbers and a remainder of 15, hence, the mixed fraction is:
[tex]\frac{143}{16} = 8\frac{15}{16}[/tex] (Alternatively, a scientific calculator can be used)
Therefore, enlarged height [tex]= 8\frac{15}{16}\ inches[/tex]
