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?

I changed the problem to reflect these concerns. I knew what I meant; why couldn't you just recieve my telepathy? :)

Actually my original problem was 15 inches long, how wide is it? and somehow it got changed. So of course the answer would be 10 then, but this problem is fine too I suppose.
