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?
"Also, each of these rectanges [rectangles?] is similar in proportion to the whole sheet."
Could you please be a little more precise ? Do you mean that the ratio of the width to the height of the individual rectangles is the same as the ratio of the width to the height of the entire sheet ?
