Answer:

length: 38 feet

width: 10 feet

area: 380 ft²

Explanation:

The scale between the drawing and the actual studio is 2 in : 5 ft. If we divide both sides by 2, we find that the scale is 1 in : 2.5 feet.

For the first number, 15.2 inches, if we multiply it by 2.5 and change the label to "feet", we can find the real length.

15.2 * 2.5 = 38.

The length is 38 feet.

For the width, do the same thing.

4 * 2.5 = 10

The width is 10 feet.

Area is length times width. So if we plug in the numbers we just found:

38 * 10 = 380.

The area is 380 ft²
