Answer:
The perimeter is increased by a factor of 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter before dimensions multiplied: 6+3+6+3= 18
When the dimensions are multiplied by 8 then the length of 6 inches becomes 48 (because 6x8) and the width of 3 inches becomes 24 (3x8).
Now we find the perimeter with the new dimensions,
P: 48+24+48+24= 144
To find the effect of the perimeter we divide 144 by 18 which results in 8.
Therefore, the perimeter increased by a factor of 8.
