Question

As the marketing designer for Burger King, you are given a 4 in by 6 in logo and have been told to create an advertisement with sides six times larger. What is the area of your advertisement (in feet)? [12 inches = 1 ft]

Answer 1

Answer: 6 square feet.

Explanation:

The initial dimension of the advertisement = 4 × 6

Where sides are 4 and 6

When the sides are 6 times larger than the initial sides,

Then the sides are 4 × 6, 6 × 6

= 24 inches and 36 inches

Therefore,

The area of the new advertisement =
`24* 36 =864\text{ square inches}`

Since, 12 inches = 1 feet

⇒ 144 square inches = 1 square feet

⇒ 1 square inches = 1/144 square feet

Thus, the required area in feet =
`864* (1)/(144)= 6 \text{ square feet}`
