Answer:


12 square feet

Explanation:

Given.

The area of smaller version drawing is
8inch*6inch=48 (inch)^(2)

The Scale of the drawing is 2 in : 1 ft

Therefore, the area of actual picture on the wall.


=(8)/(2) * (6)/(2)


=4* 3\\=12

So, the area of actual picture on the wall is 12 square feet.
