I want to confirm the numbers — do you mean a scale factor of 44 (forty-four) and PQ = 1515, or were those meant to be 4 (or 4/4) and 15?

General rule: P'Q' = (scale factor) × PQ.

- If you literally mean scale factor = 44 and PQ = 1515, then P'Q' = 44 × 1515 = 66,660.
- If you meant scale factor = 4 and PQ = 15, then P'Q' = 4 × 15 = 60.
- If you meant scale factor = 4/4 = 1 and PQ = 15, then P'Q' = 15.

Tell me which interpretation is correct and I’ll confirm.
