You have designed a picture that is shaped as a square with dimensions of 6 x 6 inches. You want to enlarge it into a poster with dimensions of 13 x 13 inches. The duplication machine has three settings: reduce by 75%, enlarge by 140%, or make copies at 100%. How many multiple enlargements or reductions will you need to make in order to create a poster that has its sides 13 x 13 inches, accurate within five hundredths?

I think the answer is two just by experience of the work sheet I had done before, the teacher said it is two.

To create a poster with dimensions 13x13in, you will need to make multiple enlargements using the given settings. You will need approximately 1 enlargement .
To create a poster with dimensions 13x13in from a square picture with dimensions 6x6in, you will need to make multiple enlargements or reductions using the given settings. Since the desired dimensions are larger than the original picture, you will need to use the enlargement setting. The enlargement factor given is 140%, which means you need to increase the dimensions of the picture by 140%. Here's how many enlargements you will need:

Calculate the growth factor by subtracting 100% from the enlargement factor: 140% - 100% = 40%
Calculate the number of enlargements needed by dividing the growth factor by the enlargement factor: 40% / 140% ≈ 0.2857 (rounded to 5 decimal places)

Therefore, you will need to make approximately 0.2857 multiple enlargements, which can be rounded to 0.29 or 1 enlargement.

To enlarge a 6 x 6 inch picture to 13 x 13 inches, you will need to make approximately 3 enlargements using the duplication machine that enlarges by 140%. This is because the area needed is significantly larger than the original, requiring multiple enlargements to reach the desired dimensions.
