Answer 1

Hello sadist again xD

Answer 2

Ends in a fraction >.<

Answer 3

eh, I'll give it a shot, assuming this isn't a trick question...

if we match up the short sides together and the long sides together...

(8.5 inches/4 inches) = 2.125, meaning that the ratio of the copy to the original sides is 2.125

2.125*(5 inches) = 10.625 inches for the copy

so the final dimensions end up being 8 1/2 inches by 10 5/8 inches?

Answer 4

Wow. Very nice! xD
