Jason considered two similar televisions at a local electronics store. The generic version was based off the brand name and was 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? 18 inches by 36 inches 6 inches by 12 inches 16 inches by 32 inches 9 inches by 18 inches

Looks like you're missing a word or two: " The generic version was based off the brand name and was ______ the size of the brand name." Need that info.

Well, if its 3/4 you can discard options 1 and 3, since those are larger than the original 12" x 24". 3/4 of 12 is 9, and 3/4 of 24 is 18, so 9 x 18. Incidentally, these are all really weird dimensions for televisions.
