Answer:

The dimensions of the actual painting are 96 inches by 128 inches.

Explanation:

If the dimensions of the scaled painting are 12 inches by 16 inches, then the actual painting is 8 times larger in each dimension, which means:

Actual width = Scaled width x Scale factor = 12 inches x 8 = 96 inches

Actual height = Scaled height x Scale factor = 16 inches x 8 = 128 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the actual painting are 96 inches by 128 inches.
