Note that we can find the scale factor thusly :

 

(3  +1/4)  /  `1.6  =

 

(13 / 4 ) / ( 16 / 10)  =

 

(13 / 4)  / ( 8 / 5 )  =

 

(13 / 4) * ( 5 / 8 )  =

 

(65 / 32) = 2.03125

 

So...."x "  =  1.875 * 2.03125 = 3.80859375

 

Proof.....the area of the enlargement is 3.80859375 * 3.25 = 12.3779296875 in^ 2

 

And rhe area of the smaller picture times the square of the scale factor should equal this

 

So  .... 1.6 * `1.875 *  2.03125 ^2  = 12.3779296875 in^2
