The syntax of \dimexpr and \numexpr is subtle and mysterious.
For example,
\framed[width=.61\textwidth,height=\dimexpr.61\textwidth*1486/1200\relax]{} works, but I never understood the limitations. How about an entry on the wiki?
\dimexpr and \numexpr are explaines in the e-tex manual.
... which you'll find here: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/20/38.pdf Best, Alan
The only important thing for \dimexpr is to write the dimen value as first value after the \dimexpr command and then the numeric values.
