Question

With most of the Xerox machines, you can reduce or enlarge your original by enteringa
percentage for the copy. Reshma wanted to enlarge a 2 cm by 4 cm drawing. She set the
Xerox machine for 150% and copied her drawing. What will be the dimensions of the
copy of the drawing be?
​

Answer 1

Solution:-

Original dimensions of the drawing : Length = 4 cm and Breadth = 2 cm

If Reshma wants to enlarge the xerox copy of her drawing by 150 %, then she has to multiply each of the dimensions by 1.5 i.e.

2 × 1.5 = 3 cm

4 × 1.5 = 6 cm

So, the new dimensions of the xerox copy of her drawing will be 3 cm and 6 cm.
