• Step 2: Multiply the denominator by the enlargement factor.
• Step 3: Write down the new fraction.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of $\frac{9}{10}$, which is 9, by the factor 8:
$9 \times 8 = 72$
Step 2: Multiply the denominator of $\frac{9}{10}$, which is 10, by the factor 8:
$10 \times 8 = 80$
Step 3: The enlarged fraction is $\frac{72}{80}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is that $\frac{9}{10}$ enlarged by a factor of 8 is $\frac{72}{80}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerator of $\frac{1}{16}$, which is 1, by the factor of 10.
• Step 2: Use the same denominator, which remains as 16.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The numerator is 1. Multiplying this by the factor 10 gives us $1 \times 10 = 10$.
Step 2: The denominator remains 16, so the fraction becomes $\frac{10}{16}$.

After performing the multiplication, the fraction becomes $\frac{10}{16}$. To simplify this solution, we can reduce $\frac{10}{16}$ by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. This results in the final reduced fraction $\frac{5}{8}$. However, our task was to simply multiply and not reduce, so we end with:

The solution to the problem is $\frac{10}{160}$.

To solve this problem, we'll need to apply the concept of scaling a fraction by a given factor.

• Step 1: Identify the original fraction, which is $\frac{6}{11}$.
• Step 2: Identify the factor of increase, which is 8.
• Step 3: Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the factor of 8.
• Step 4: Calculate the new numerator: $6 \times 8 = 48$.
• Step 5: Keep the original denominator, which is 11.
• Step 6: Construct the new fraction: $\frac{48}{11}$.
• Step 7: Realize that the fraction $\frac{48}{11}$ is not correct but the correct factorized fraction would equal result when denominator is modified for some circumstances.
• Compare results against listed options to ensure matching response.

Therefore, increasing the fraction $\frac{6}{11}$ by a factor of 8, we multiply only the numerator by 8, retaining the denominator.

This would result in:

$\frac{48}{88}$

Matching allowed question outputs, choice $\frac{48}{88}$, option 2 would verify an equivalent representation.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the factor.
• Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the same factor.
• Step 3: Write the new fraction.

Now, let's work through these steps:
Step 1: The numerator of the fraction is 9. We multiply it by 7, which gives us $9 \times 7 = 63$.
Step 2: The denominator of the fraction is 11. We multiply it by 7, which gives us $11 \times 7 = 77$.
Step 3: The resulting fraction is $\frac{63}{77}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{63}{77}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the enlargement factor.
• Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the enlargement factor.
• Step 3: Write the new fraction formed after multiplication.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The numerator of $\frac{8}{9}$ is 8. Multiply 8 by 11:
$8 \times 11 = 88$.

Step 2: The denominator of $\frac{8}{9}$ is 9. Multiply 9 by 11:
$9 \times 11 = 99$.

Step 3: The enlarged fraction is given by the new numerator and denominator:
$\frac{88}{99}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{88}{99}$.
