Mike and Aimee are planning to build a garden in their newly purchased home. Initially, they wanted a garden that was 7 feet in length and 4 feet in width. Recently, they discovered that they could increase the size of the garden, but Aimee wanted to maintain the same proportional relationship. If they enlarge the size of the garden to a width of 5.5 feet, how long will the bigger garden be?

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you do 7 x 4 and get 28.
