Apple wants your help to make a prototype for a larger iPod. They want to make the length of the new iPod Touch 1 ¼ times longer than it is now and the width 1 ½ times longer than it is now. What will the dimensions (length and width) of the new iPod Touch prototype be, if the length and width are increased according to Apple’s specifications? Create a model showing the new dimensions. 4 25 inches x 2 13 inches Above is NOT the dimensions for the prototype

OpenStudy (littlebird):

Does that say 4.25 x 2.13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no \[4\frac{ 2 } {5 } 2\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (littlebird):

I just like to say something before I help. When you want to make something two times longer, what do you do? You multiply it by two. This same concept applies to your question. The only difference is that in your case, you are working with fractions.
