The dimensions of the brand name television would be 32 inches by 64 inches.
If the generic television is 12 inches by 24 inches and is three eighths the size of the brand name television, then we can set up a proportion to find the dimensions of the brand name television:
12/24 = x/64
x = 32
So, the width of the brand name television is 32 inches.
And for the height:
24/24 = y/64
y = 64
So, the height of the brand name television is 64 inches.
Therefore, the dimensions of the brand name television are 32 inches by 64 inches.
