In real life, the Mona Lisa measures 2 1/2 feet by 1 3/4 feet. A company that makes office supplies wants to print a scaled copy of a notebook that measures 11 inches by 9. what size (in inches) should they use for the scaled copy of the Mona Lisa on the notebook cover so that the picture is as big as it can possibly be, but still fit on the paper?

The size in inches for the scaled copy of the Mona Lisa on the notebook cover is 11 inches by 7.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The real life measurement of the Mona Lisa = 2 1/2 feet by 1 3/4 feet

The size of the notebooks made by the company = 11 inches by 9 inches

The ratio of the real life dimension is 2 1/2 to 1 3/4 which is 10 to 7

The ratio of the notebook dimension is 11 to 9,

The expected ration for the notebook = 11/x = 10/7, which gives x = 7.7

The area of the figure becomes 11 × 7.7 = 84.7

Similarly, we have x/9 = 10/7, which gives x = 90/7 = 12 6/7 > 11

Therefore, the maximum possible size in inches for the scaled copy of the Mona Lisa on the notebook cover so that the picture is as big as it can possibly be, but still fit on the paper is 11 inches by 7.7 inches.
