Jason considered two similar televisions at a local electronics store. The generic version was based on the brand name and was three eighths the size of the brand name. If the generic television set is 12 inches by 24 inches, what are the dimensions of the brand name television?

Scaling

Jason is considering two similar televisions at a local store. The sizes of the generic television are 3/8 the size of the brand name.

If we knew the size of the brand name television, we would have to multiply its dimensions by 3/8, but instead, we have the dimensions of the generic television, so to find the brand name television, we multiply by 8/3.

The brand name television's dimensions are 32 inches by 64 inches.
