Jason considered two similar televisions at a local electronics store. The generic version was based off the brand name and was 3/4 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?

12*(4/3)  by  24*(4/3)

=16 by 32

imagine:
12/x = 3/4  and solve for x.
24/x = 3/4  solve for x.

to check:  3/4 of 16 is  12 because 16 divided by 4 times 3 is 12.
