Answer

18 points\text{18 points}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Understand the conversion between points and inches.

    The problem states that 1 point is equal to 172\frac{1}{72} inch.

  2. Identify the desired height in inches.

    You want the printed title to be 14\frac{1}{4} inch tall.

  3. Calculate the required point size.

    To find out how many points are in 14\frac{1}{4} inch, we can set up a proportion or multiply the desired height by the inverse of the conversion factor (since 1 inch = 72 points).

    Point size=Desired height in inches÷(172 inch per point)\text{Point size} = \text{Desired height in inches} \div \left(\frac{1}{72} \text{ inch per point}\right) Point size=14 inch×72 points1 inch\text{Point size} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ inch} \times \frac{72 \text{ points}}{1 \text{ inch}} Point size=14×72\text{Point size} = \frac{1}{4} \times 72 Point size=724\text{Point size} = \frac{72}{4} Point size=18\text{Point size} = 18

    You should use a point size of 18.

    The point size you should use is 18 points\text{18 points}.
