No idea what "mc003-1.jpg in. by 11 in" is supposed to say, but the 11 in
suggests you might be talking about the standard US paper size of
8.5 by 11 inches.
so you want to maintain the 5 : 6 ratio of the original card.
if we change the width from 5 inches to 8.5 inches, then we have to
increase the length to (8.5/6)*6 or 10.2 inches
let see if the longest side can be stretched to fit the 11 inches
stretch factor is 11/6
will the width work?, that is, what is 11/6*5 ?
I get 9.166.. which is greater than the 8.5 that the paper will allow
so .....
the largest card I can make is 8.5 inches by 10.2 inches
note: 10.2 : 8.5 = 6:5
You want to draw an enlargement of a design that is printed on a card that is 5 in. by 6 in. You will be drawing this design on an piece of paper that is mc003-1.jpg in. by 11 in. What are the dimensions of the largest complete enlargement you can make?
