I have a sheet of paper with a grid drawn on it, filling the whole paper. This grid has 4 rows and 9 columns, forming 36 congruent rectangles. Also, each of these rectangles is similar in proportion to the whole sheet.

If the sheet is 15 inches wide, how long is it?

(In reply to Solution by Richard)

I get it.....

Height/width of the sheet is equal to width/height of each rectangle....  Isn't that clever....
