A copy machine is set to enlarge an image 160%. If the original image is 3 inches tall, how tall will the enlarged image be?
3 * 1.60 = ____
To find the height of the enlarged image, we can use the following formula:
Height of enlarged image = Height of original image × (Enlargement percentage / 100)
Plugging in the values, we have:
Height of enlarged image = 3 inches × (160 / 100)
= 3 inches × 1.6
= 4.8 inches
Therefore, the enlarged image will be 4.8 inches tall.
To find out how tall the enlarged image will be, we can use the formula:
Enlarged height = Original height × Enlargement percentage / 100
In this case, the original height is given as 3 inches, and the enlargement percentage is 160%.
Substituting the values into the formula:
Enlarged height = 3 inches × 160 / 100
To simplify the calculation, we can convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
Enlarged height = 3 inches × 1.6
Multiplying 3 inches by 1.6 gives us the answer:
Enlarged height = 4.8 inches
Therefore, the enlarged image will be 4.8 inches tall.
or, probably 3 * 2.60 = ___
since 1.60 enlarges by 60%
