A 3-inch by 5-inch photo is enlarged proportionally such that its smaller dimension is now 1 foot 3 inches. How many inches are in the larger dimension?

There are 25 inches in the larger dimension.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ The small dimension after enlargement is 1 foot and 3 inches

→ Change it to inches only

∴ The small dimension = 1(12) + 3 = 12 + 3

∴ The small dimension = 15 inches after enlarged

∵ The small dimension of the photo before enlarged = 3 inches

→ Divide its length after enlarged by its length before enlarged to

   find the scale of the enlargement

∵ 15 ÷ 3 = 5

∴ The scale of enlarged is 5

→ To find the larger dimension after enlarged multiply its length

   before enlarged by 5

∵ The larger dimension before enlarged = 5 inches

∴ The larger dimension after enlarged = 5 × 5

∴ The larger dimension after enlarged = 25 inches

∴ There are 25 inches in the larger dimension.
