Sarah's dad found a table hockey game with dimensions 9 1/4 inches by 4 15/16 inches. Unfortunately, this game was only 1/4 the size of the table top hockey game he wanted. Determine the dimensions of the table Sarah's dad wanted.

Question

Please help me with this, the assignment is due today.

Answer 1

The game is 1/4 of the wanted size, so each of the dimensions of the wanted sized table is four times as big.
For example, if he wanted a size twice as big (scale factor = 2), then the dimensions are
2*(9 1/4) × 2(4 15/16)
= 18 1/2 &times 9 7/8
