The dimensions of the generic television set = 12 inches by 24 inches
Let the dimensions of brand name be x by y
three eighth of x=12 inches
3/8 x = 12
x = 12 × 8/3
x = 32 inches
and three eighth of y=24 inches
3/8 y = 24
y = 24 × 8/3
y = 64 inches
Thus, the dimensions of the brand name television is 32 inches by 64 inches
