To find the width of the enlarged frame, we can use the concept of ratios.
First, we need to determine the ratio of the height of the enlarged frame to the original frame. In this case, the original frame is 4 inches tall and the enlarged frame is 16 inches tall. So the ratio of enlarged frame to original frame height is 16/4 = 4.
Next, we can use this ratio to find the ratio of the width of the enlarged frame to the original frame width. Since the original frame is 3 inches wide, we can multiply this value by the ratio we found earlier: 3 * 4 = 12.
Therefore, the width of the enlarged frame will be 12 inches.
