A photograph measuring 5.5 cm by 9 cm is enlarged in the ratio of 7:5. What is the new length and width of the picture?

Answer: 7.7 cm by 12.6 cm
Explanation

Let's calculate the new length and width of the picture:

Original length (L) = 9 cm

Original width (W) = 5.5 cm

Enlargement ratio = 7:5

New length (L') = (7/5) × L = (7/5) × 9 = 12.6 cm

New width (W') = (7/5) × W = (7/5) × 5.5 = 7.7 cm

So, the new length and width of the picture are:

7.7 cm by 12.6 cm
