Answer 2

19.5 cm wide

36 cm tall

Explanation:

The given, 3 cm : 2 ft, is your first fraction (3 cm / 2 ft). We need to figure out how many cm is 13 ft and 24 ft. Let's start with 13 ft. We would use the first fraction, 3 cm / 2 ft, is equal to x cm / 13 ft. Then, you would cross multiply and get an answer of 19.5 cm. Now, we do the same thing but instead of 13 ft we need to use 24 ft. So again, 3 cm / 2 ft is equal to x cm / 24 ft. Then, cross multiply and get a final answer of 36 cm.
