Answer 1

Answer :

☞ 3 × 6.

Given :

Original size of the drawing = 2 cm × 4 cm.

Size to be enlarged = 150 %

According to the question :

New size = 150 % of 2 cm × 4 cm.

=> 150 % of 2

=> 150 / 100 × 2

=> 3 cm.

=> 150 % of 4

=> 150 / 100 × 4

=> 6 cm.

The dimension of the copy of the drawing is 3 × 6.
