Do 65 divided by 5 to get 13 in high. Do the same for 105, and you will get 21 in wide. The dimensions is 13 in. high and 21 in. wide.

The painting is 65in high by 105in wide.

We have to use a 1in=5in scale to make a scale drawing poster of a painting to sell at the gift shop

The dimensions of the poster will be as follows:

Height of the poster = 65/5 = 13 in

Width of the poster = 105/5 = 21 in

Therefore, the dimensions of your poster be 13in high and 21in width

Hope this helps ..!!

Thank you :)
