Division. Divide the size you want by the size you have.
9 ÷ 8 = 1.125, or 112. So you would push the enlarge button on the copier and set it to 112%.
To reduce a block is the same. If you have an 8 inch block but wanted a 9 inch block:
8 ÷ 9 = .88, you would push the reduce button on the copier and set it to 88%.
Or, you could use the cheat sheet found here (as long as your blocks are whole numbers):
