Answer:

6 inches by 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

It tells us that the scale is 2 In: 1 cm so we know that for every centimeter long or wide the stamp is the enlardged scale is two inches.

2 times 3 is 6. 6 inches. we are multiplying two inches by the number of centimeter long it is.

5 times 2 is 10 inches. we are multiplying two inches by the number of centimeter wide it is.

therefore the enlarged stamp is 6 In by 10 In.
