Harper's house is 30 feet wide and 45 feet long. On a scale drawing, the house is 4 inches wide and 6 inches long, and Harper's bedroom is 1.2 inches wide and 1.6 inches long.

What are the actual measurements of Harper's bedroom?

The scale factor is 7.5 because if you divide 30 by 4 and 45 by 6, it is 7.5.
So to find the actual measurement of Harper's bedroom, you multiply 1.2 by 7.5, that would be 9 feet wide, and 1.6 by 7.5, that would be 12 feet long.
