A training certificate composed on a personal computer that was designed to be nine inches long and six inches wide has to be proportionately enlarged so that its length will be 12 inches.
How many inches wide will the enlarged certificate be?
A. 8
B. 6
C. 9
D. 10
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Since the certificate and its enlargement are similar (i.e., proportional) figures, the lengths will have the same ratio as the widths; if the length is increased by a given proportion, then the width will be increased by the same proportion or percentage of its original size.
