A photo studio offers different sized prints of the same subject. The original print measures 8 inches by 10 inches. A printer enlarges the orginal the orginal by a scale factor of 1.5, and then enlarges the second image by a scale factor of 3. What are the dimensions of the largest print.
I have no idea. Please help, thanks.
8*1.5 = 12
10*1.5 = 15
then
3*12 = 36
3*15 = 45
Thanks
You are welcome.
To find the dimensions of the largest print, we need to perform two enlargements.
First, let's calculate the dimensions after the first enlargement, which is done with a scale factor of 1.5. To find the new dimensions, multiply each side of the original print by 1.5.
Original width: 8 inches
Original height: 10 inches
Enlarged width = 8 inches * 1.5 = 12 inches
Enlarged height = 10 inches * 1.5 = 15 inches
So, after the first enlargement, the print measures 12 inches by 15 inches.
Now, let's perform the second enlargement with a scale factor of 3.
Enlarged width = 12 inches * 3 = 36 inches
Enlarged height = 15 inches * 3 = 45 inches
Therefore, the largest print has dimensions of 36 inches by 45 inches.
