Answer:

The question lacks clarity, so here is a more clearly articulated question along with the response:

A customer requests to scale up a photo to 2 3/4 times its existing height. The current height of the photo stands at 3 1/4 inches. What will the new height be after enlarging, in inches?

Answer:

$Enlarged\ height = 8\frac{15}{16}\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

$current\ height\ =\ 3\frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \\ magnification\ factor = 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \\Magnification (enlargement)\ =\ (magnification\ factor) \times (current\ height)\\Magnification\ =\ \frac{11}{4} \times \frac{13}{4}\\ Magnification\ =\ \frac{143}{16}$

Next, we convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

When 143 is divided by 16, the result is 8 whole numbers with a remainder of 15, thus the mixed number is:

$\frac{143}{16} = 8\frac{15}{16}$ (A scientific calculator can also be utilized)

This means the enlarged height will be $= 8\frac{15}{16}\ inches$
